Democracy isn't the only thing that's free on Election Day. To encourage you to pull the lever, a handful of liberty-loving companies are giving away some tantalizing treats. Ben & Jerry's says they're doing it to "celebrate democracy" and Starbucks is doing it to get people to care more about community. Now we'll be voting only to fill our tummies with doughnuts, coffee and ice cream.

Here's your hour-by-hour itinerary on how to cash in on tomorrow's suffrage celebration:

8 a.m. -- Free Coffee: Cast your ballot, then head to Starbucks for a free tall brewed cup of joe. You deserve it for waking up that early.

8:30 a.m. -- Free Doughnut: Flash your "I Voted" sticker and Krispy Kreme will hand over a free star-shaped donut with patriotic sprinkles. Mmmm, sprinkles.

9 a.m. -- Free E-card: Lobby your classmates/co-workers to vote by sending free Election Day e-cards. (You can send these ones to your more twisted friends.) Continue doing this for the next eight hours.

5 p.m. -- Free Ice Cream: Visit a Ben & Jerry's before 8 p.m. to get a FREE scoop of ice cream. Expect to wait in line, and then wait some more.

6 p.m. -- Free Camaraderie: Various bars across the country are hosting parties for those who swing Democrat, Republican and even bi-partisan.

8 p.m. -- Free Sex Toy: Lemondroppers in New York City, L.A. and Seattle who drop into Babeland can score a FREE "toy" (i.e., the kind you won't find in Santa's bag) from now until next Tuesday, as long as they solemnly swear they did their civic duty.
