Register voters

In my early career, I was a plant manager. At one plant the union tried to organize and the procedure is to wait outside the plant gates and ask employees to sign a request for a union. This sometimes goes on for months, the theory being that some supervisor will get an employee upset and that is the day this person will sign. Conservative groups are trying to register voters at gas stations using the same principal. This is based on the old concept that people are passively for and actively against. This is why most letters to the editor are complaints. Get people when they are upset and they will take action. When people see high gas prices they are in the mood to throw the bums out.
