A strategy for 2014?

Just wondering what we can do to get the vote out in 2014 and came up with one idea I think is pretty good.

I live in Colorado, so it's already been done here, but what about your state? What if we get referendums on legalizing pot on as many state ballots as possible. This will turn out a bigger voting block of young people and probably a lot more than just that.

Remember when the religious right was getting all those anti-gay measures on ballots back in '04 to get out the vote?... It worked for them, so let's take a page out of Karl Rove's book and give it right back to them.

We really need the House in '14
