Democrats could run an ad that would give an estimate of how much work you'd have to do to vote if the Republican plan passes. #
And roughly how many people are like you and how likely they are to vote Democratic. #
People can understand March Madness, they can understand this. You have to help though. The first question could be: #
The first question could be:#

Do you have your birth certificate or passport?#

In the ad we could also estimate what the probable makeup of Congress would be if the law passed. #
And keep an open mind, it's possible this move could backfire on the Republicans. Who knows how people will vote after this kind of madness becomes law. #

You know those obnoxious sites that pop up dialogs when they think you're about to leave, asking you to subscribe to their email newsletter? Well that won't do for Scripting News readers who are a discerning lot, very loyal, but that wouldn't last long if I did rude stuff like that. So here I am at the bottom of the page quietly encouraging you to sign up for the nightly email. It's got everything from the previous day on Scripting, plus the contents of the linkblog and who knows what else we'll get in there. People really love it. I wish I had done it sooner. And every email has an unsub link so if you want to get out, you can, easily -- no questions asked, and no follow-ups. Go ahead and do it, you won't be sorry! :-)
