Starbucks Free Coffee If You Vote

It is creative marketing. On November 4th, the day to vote for many people, if you tell a Starbucks barista that you have voted, you will be given a free tall coffee. Starbucks will receive some free publicity for this brief campaign. Do vote - and stop in for a free coffee.

I don't think it shows that you care to just vote if you don't care enough to be informed about why you are voting. Voting because Bruce Springstein says to or because you want to see a semi-black person is a candidate is not good enough. We need an informed citizenry that votes, not someone that doesn't even know the name of the people running, only that they will get a carton of no-name cigs from ACORN to vote for their candidate.
