Freebies available to voters

<p>If you’ve already voted, then you’re probably the proud owner of a free “I Voted” sticker.</p><p>In Sonoma County, there are other rewards for the voting public who want to save a buck or two on election day. After all, in this tough economy, every penny counts.</p><p>For that mid-day break, there’s a cup of free java at your favorite Starbucks. It’s just a regular cuppa Joe — no liberal lattes for free - but that’s still a chunk of change.</p><p>At Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream in Sonoma, owner Troy Marmaduke is serving free scoops of ice cream to voters between 5 and 8 p.m. Tuesday night. Pick your favorite flavor - from Chunky Monkey to Imagine Whirled Peace — at the shop at 408 First Street East, on the northeast side of the square.</p><p>Meanwhile, The Last Record Store in Santa Rosa is handing out a free, “Election Day 2008” mix CD to all their loyal, voting customers.</p><p>“Everybody’s been real excited,” said store employee Gerry Stumbaugh, who stayed up late last night to burn the CDs. “I only made 100, so I might run out. My hope is that I will, because that means everybody voted.”</p><p>The CD includes political and protest songs from Bob Dylan to the Dead Kennedys. The Last Record Store is located at 1899a Mendocino Avenue, behind the Santa Rosa Community Market.</p>
