CHICAGO -- Illinois strip club owners met on Tuesday to plan for a statewide voter registration drive similar to a thrust now taking place in Wisconsin and other Midwestern states.

Fearing conservatives could shut down their $15 billion businesses, strip club owners throughout the nation are asking patrons to fill out voter registration forms and support U.S. Senator John Kerry (D-MA) for president.

Angelina Spencer, Executive Director of the Association of Club Executives, told IllinoisLeader.com that representatives from the Illinois' 72 sexually-oriented businesses were joining together to register voters and encourage their patrons to vote for Senator John Kerry for president.

Since the nationally-televised exposure of singer Janet Jackson's breast during the Super Bowl half time show, the Bush Administration has moved to clamp down on indecency on the nation's airwaves. Spencer and her colleagues are concerned that their businesses may be endangered if Bush is re-elected in November.
