4. I have
Appeal to an issue that they can relate to. Choice, the environment, the war, civil liberites (that should have some appeal to the benevolent anarchists)

Rigged elections? Maybe, maybe not. But unless enough people vote then it's easy to commit fraud. What was the voter turn out in 2004 - 40 % - 50% Well, gee, if half the population doesn't vote then we sort of get what we deserve don't we? And we really can't complain about voter fraud if we don't FRIGGIN VOTE.

Duty, responsibilty, more of the same? Maybe, maybe not. But this is what we've got and it, in all of it's imperfections, is a whole lot better than most places.
