Vote for Free Coffee Friday

Free coffee at 7-Eleven to mark National Coffee Day also comes with a political point.

Voting never tasted so refreshing.

It’s National Coffee Day Friday and 7-Eleven locations throughout the Town of North Hempstead will not only offer you a free cup o’ Joe, but an opportunity to weigh in on the Presidential race.

Blue cups emblazoned “Obama” sit stacked next to red ones branded “Romney,” part of what the company calls 7-Election. The cup you choose will go down as a vote for the candidate.

So what’s the tally? President Barack Obama leads nationally with 58 percent of the vote and holds 10-point edge among New Yorkers who apparently love java at 24-7 convenient stores.

7-Eleven’s free large coffee offer is good between 6-10 a.m. Friday. See the map for locations.

Want your coffee politics-free – and with a side of hot cakes? McDonald's restaurants along the East Coast will be giving away free 12-ounce coffee through Saturday.   

Sorry, Starbucks and Dunkin’ Donuts fans. You can still get your fix, but it’s not free.

At least I'm not the one paying for the coffee.

A free cup of coffee? There's a Youtube of a woman that's voting for Obama because he gave her a free phone. I guess that's better than a free cup of coffee.

I think 7-Eleven is footing the bill in this case, not the DNC.

Jason Molinet: I don't think it is the DNC either. http://www.daytondailynews.com/news/news/subsidized-cell-phone-program-nearly-doubles-in-oh/nRDqC/

Does anyone know who won the 7-Eleven coffee Presidential Poll? Without the results this is just half a story.

The TONH should be under some investigation for charging such a high fee for a very short summerRead More season. You lose most of june and the pool closes in early September. Better off paying as you go just purchase the parking permit which is good at the Manorhaven Pool and the Harbor beach. Stop buying a season pass in protest to the yearly excessive price increase.

And speaking of investigations, what's up with Jonny's Roslyn CC fiasco?
