This idea was created by Mike Rucker, and should be supported by everyone in the industry. Simply put, the program is designed to help get Vendors to vocally support our rights and existence based on economic concepts.
For instance, did you ever consider that if you "go out of businesses" vendors from entertainers to drink distributors to costume designers would be hurt economically? Vendors are a tie-in that we need to strengthen, after all, how much beer or soda do you buy?
To attract their support, and attention, we have designed the following program:
1) On 3 consecutive days (once a month for 3 months) promote Voter Registration by holding a party;
2) When consumers walk through the door, hand them a Voter Registration Packet that includes a Form (Do not charge for this, its against the law).The kit should also have other materials and we'll help you prepare;
3) Train (pay for) several of the entertainers to become certified, which is usually a short 3 hour class costing $25 - $50 (and is tax deductible);
4) In designated corners of your club, hire your entertainers to stand there "naked" or "topless" (based on regulations) so "consumers can register with their help" (return the completed form);
5) Have the D.J. "talk" up the promotion. VENDOR PROGRAM (designed to Encourage Their Support)
The NCA strongly urges that you approach all vendors that do business with your establishment reminding them that their livelihood depends upon your survival. The following are suggested ways to include vendors in your proactive program:
1) Talk one on one with each vendor and explain how they can support your fight against government intervention and why they should;
2) Establish a day or days in which one or two of your entertainers can come over and register the vendors;
3) Identify businesses where entertainers can go and register voters;
4) Make arrangements with the NCA to have the press cover your event;
5) If the vendors do not react favorably, let them know that you will aggressively seek and employ vendors that politically support your business.
As you can see, these are general, harmless ways to go about gaining strong community support.
In order to do that, we're asking all Cabarets to participate in this national voter registration and publicity program on the eve of Campaign 2000 (Don't sit on the fence. Its time to build a strong industry).
The initial dates that we have selected to kick off this campaign on October 15th. The NCA Registration Goal is 25,000 in the three month period in which we plan to conduct the drive. Our phone number is (916) 456 - 7311 http://www.exoticdancernetwork.com
