I remember back in 1992, going out after work with a group from the clinic. As it turned out, none of my co-workers had ever done this type of thing. We started going through the low-income neighborhoods in our region, and engaging in voter education & registration.

We know that our larger opposition does not encourage the registration of poor people. They will rant about "free stuff!" and similar errors in thinking. This allows us the opportunity to engage in a little counter-punching, and explain that it is actually allowing tax-payers to have a voice in how their money is spent. People really would prefer to invest in public education, for example, than in gifts to Wall Street, or rebuilding the infrastructure of other countries that the US has been bombing.
