free stuff for voting
Sonic near Jefferson and Denbigh is not offering free drinks. Manager knows nothing about the promo.

I called my local Chick-Fil-A and was told I would have to buy fries and a drink in order to get the sandwich for free, so where were these FREE sandwiches? Paying for other things to get the FREEBIE must be the McCain way. Thanks to Starbucks for honoring what was/is promised in print. I didn't bother with the other places after Mis-Fil-A-stake
Looks like it's okay
I found the legal reference:
No person may offer or accept anything of value to influence anyone’s vote.
That wording would mean only if you try to influence how someone votes not if they do or not. That's just VA and other states may be different.
Hmmm
How come most of the comments on here have NOTHING to do with FREE FOOD !?!?!?!?!?!?! Get a grip people. Then go vote. Then go get some free food. Nuf said
D
They are not paying you TO vote. They are giving out freebies AFTER you vote. All you need to show is your "I Voted" sticker. Nothing illegal about that.
I guess not
I guess it's not illegal, as long as you don't tell people who to vote for.
Anyone know if the Chick-Fil-A on General Booth Blvd. (next to Ihop) is doing the give away? We drove by after voting and didn't see any signs or anything.
Illegal?
Isn't this illegal? You can't pay someone in cash or gifts to vote.
Racism At It's Worst
It's a shame that there is so much hatred in this United States of America. This country was founded on the sweat of Blacks as well as Whites. There has to be a special place in hell for those of you that think that your skin color makes you better.
Since McCain sponsored a bill against coal in 2005
why would you vote for him?
tax coal into bankruptcy?
If you hate your Dominion VA power bill now, wait until coal is taxxed into bankruptcy.
Go McCain/Palin.
