Well, if you bring it in to The Winermaker's Pour House today you will receive a free appetizer with a purchase of two glasses of wine. Not a bad deal.

You should offer that to everyone because I believe turnout incentives are illegal under federal law when there is a federal race on the ballot.

@Alan: Thanks. Just encouraging folks to share a photo of their "I Voted" sticker.

A "turnout incentive" is actually more like you are looking for somebody who hasn't voted (or voted at least once like it used to be in the old days) and you are giving them something (money, whiskey or any other favors) to vote their way.
If the people voted before going out to get the discount, it is not a turnout incentive. I hope you never become my representative, Mr. Phillips. I fear you may be facing a recall action if you do.

I'm not Al Phillips.
I think turnout incentives used to be illegal in California though it is not now except in federal elections. And I was referring to the Pour House offer.
Californicated1 November 6, 2012 at 09:02 pm
And once again, it's not a "Turnout Incentive" if they already voted, got the sticker and got their coffee.
Because it is not influencing how these voters actually voted. About the only thing it does is reward somebody for voting and nothing more. So how can that be illegal? Especially when the system wants us to vote?

You still have time to vote and get your sticker. Then go to the Winemaker's Pour House and buy a couple glasses of wine. Show your wait staff your sticker and get a free appetizer.

Looks like the "tasting game".

They are beautiful and you described them so well! I hope that someone steps forward quickly! (IRead More have my quota of cats already.)

It isn't up to the gov. to help raise your kids. The stork didn't drop the kid off unexpectedly. IfRead More you can't afford kids then don't have them.

Wow, so quick to jump to conclusions and judge. Maybe T.G. BUYS the child's lunch. Every schoolRead More sells hot lunch every day. At the majority of our schools, more lunches are bought than given for free.
DeAnna Senft McDaid June 13, 2013 at 12:43 pm
The schools give us 2 options as parents. 1. Buying lunches on campus or 2. Send them with a lunch.Read More Clearly the author of this chose number 1 and the school was OUT leaving the child with NO 3rd option. Shame on that school.

A great issue! However, the rodeo is nothing but animal cruelty wrapped up as "tradition"Read More and "entertainment". Why would the animal's welfare become a concern now? Rodeo performers have been documented beating, kicking, and shocking normally docile cows and horses in chutes and holding pens. "Bucking broncos" and steers are provoked with electric prods, sharp sticks, caustic ointments, and the pinching "bucking" strap, which is what really makes them jump, they are not "wild" and "dangerous" . The cowboys earn points by spurring the bucking horse. I have seen them up close and many are bleeding. Calves, roped when running, have their necks snapped back by the lasso, often resulting in neck and back injuries, bruises, broken bones, and internal bleeding. After their short and painful "careers," animals in rodeos are sent to the slaughterhouse. Dr. C.G. Haber, a veterinarian who spent 30 years as a federal meat inspector, describes the animals discarded from rodeos for slaughter as being "so extensively bruised that the only areas in which the skin was attached [to the flesh] was the head, neck, leg, and belly. I have seen animals with six to eight ribs broken from the spine and, at times, puncturing the lungs. I have seen as much as 2 to 3 gallons of free blood accumulated under the detached skin." Every national animal protection organization opposes rodeos because of their inherent cruelty. Don't feel bad everyone, I used to love the rodeo too. Before I knew better...

Something to consider and not pushing it aside because I feel its unimportant, but what I'd love toRead More have access to is how the riders that were hurt are doing today. Two bull riders got gored, one in the back and he was down and out for a bit and then obviously not "okay" as he stumbled out of the arena and then another that got his leg hurt and he couldn't get himself over the gate on his own. Left saturday's Rodeo hoping they were okay and would love follow up if at all possible. Thanks!
