Free Strip Club Admission For Tampa Voters
What do you think about this one? A Tampa politician has come up with a unique way to get voters to the polls, offer them free admission to a strip club. 
To entice a larger turnout, he's now offering free admission to his Mons Venus strip club when patrons show their "I voted" sticker at the door. The cover charge is usually $20-bucks. State elections officials say what Redner is doing is legal, since there is no Florida statute that prevents a business owner from offering a discount to voters for voting.  |

Voters come from every walk of life - let's hope he's not counting on oh...the more conservative side of his hopeful constituents. In the end, if wins and does right by his constituents, then all the more power to him.

That's not a Floridian. That's a lowlife who most likely came from somewhere else. |

Doesn't bother me... I don't think it will actually effect voter turn out one way or another. All it's doing is getting the club some free PR. They aren't spending a dime to this point and people are talking about them, that's called creating a buzz. And it's a good thing for a business. That's smart marketing on their part.

This guy is running for a local government position, should the community be concerned? Will his decision be bias in certain issues to include strip bars and porno video clubs?  |
