this of course is purly my opinion of course.
in the fall the new voter's project is working with the university of iowa's greek community to register people to vote, and i think that the encouragement to vote is a positive thing. one thing that greek life encourages is giving back to one's community, and one way is to vote. of course its an individual's choice to vote, but many people don't know how to go about it and that's why many people don't vote.
politics can be kept out of the house if you make the effort to keep it out. my grand big sis works for Bush/Cheney and she would pick on me when i was working for the Dean campaign, but we both knew when to stop and the girls in my house told us when it got annoying. it took effort on both our parts to make it work, but it did. eventually we knew who we could and couldn't talk politics around and the whole thing is a non-issue now.
i think that providing members with information to register to vote is a great idea and should be encouraged, but i don't think that it should be manditory.
