Please dont forget to vote today!!
Let's all make a statement that we care about the issues of this election by voting!
No sane politician could fail to get this message, and take it to heart,
if we all just vote. They will know they can't just go through the motions and count on the people to stay silent,
at least. That is worth a lot. We are all on the same team in this respect.
Voting
is the base condition for a successful democracy, and by simply filling in the numbers you are implementing positive
change in the world. The whole process of democracy requires a certain momentum to work well, and
voting is the easiest and most important way to get the snowball of democracy rolling. We can help our
country reach a critical mass of democracy now; and reap the benefits of a stronger, better country forever! The
point of critical mass might just be your vote!
Every vote
counts twice in "psychology of democracy" terms -- over and above how it counts to help elect your preferred
candidate! First, it counts in adding to the number that voted and second, in subtracting from the number who
didn't show they cared! (These are separate phenomena mentally, and democracy lives in the minds of women and
men.)
Voting is a way we can help those brave souls who have given their
lives on 9/11 and after, to have accomplished a greater good, together with us, in creating a permanently
stronger democracy! Our time of historic opportunity is now!
It will also be a
fun event, and we'll feel great about ourselves for the next four years knowing we took part.
Today is the most important holiday this year, IMO. Let's get in the spirit, fellow scented
Americans!

Yes, I'll second that. Please,
everybody, VOTE! Your vote does count and every vote matters.
The only thing I'll disagree with the good Doc
about is the term Sane Politician. Always thought that was about as valid as honest politician. Both are oxymorons.
To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.

Oh well, I had to qualify the
statement somehow!It's hard to reach crazy or crackhead politicians anyway -- except we can always vote them
out and send a message to those with half an ear to hear!

Do not let anybody steal your right to
vote!!!
Do not let anybody steal your right to vote!!!
If anybody challenges your right to vote
you can by law still get a provisional ballot, and/or talk to a voting attorney at your polling place. You can also
in many cases sign an affidavit about any information that you may be missing. Forgetting your ID should not
disqualify you, for example.
You have a right to a demonstation of voting equipment if you do not understand how
it works.

Most important
holiday...*sarcastic laugh*...my company makes us log PTO hours for whatever time we miss from voting...I feel bad
for those who waited an hour or so to vote (of course, you can vote before or after work, too).
That said, maybe
everyone should get a day off to vote. That'd be cool. If you have proof of voting, you can go home!
wouldn't work, but just let it be funny)
Have voted in every election since
1969, that includes TODAY!!

Mtnjim, what's your 'winning
percentage'? (may be equivalent to the number of times a Dem/Rep has won, but you may not be straight-party)
Ha! Ha!
You know
I went and voted. My vote is in. Go good guys! I thought it was funny how some of the candidates in my aria were
on hand at the poling center and asked for my vote. They would shake my hand, open the door and say, “Hey vote for
me remember I opened the door for you.” I had a list of the people I was voting for. How comical it was that I was
not voting for them.

Was there a
red carpet too?
To tell the truth, not very good. Example, I voted against Nixon when he was
re-elected!
I never vote "party", but for who I think is the "best".A bit of trivia, in
the last election, the Libertatian candidate won our precinct.

No
red carpet. They did in fact give me a Brach’s Cinnamon Hard Candy. So no red carpet but red candy that is hot. I
wonder if they wanted people to associate the heat of the candy to the status of the candidate. I thought the candy
was much hotter.

=(
Everyone here at my job are wearing their voting stickers walking around all proud
because they voted.. Is like such a inspiring voting environment never seen this before in any of my others jobs..
A couple of my co-workers even got into it because one is going for Bush and the other for
Karry ( soooo rediculous ) is like vote for who you want to vote and mind your own business. Why even argue about?
not because of whatever the opponet says is going to make you change your mind of who you are voting for,,, is it??
you already know who you want for President.
Just a waste of time.
It's funny. Everyone's all
about voting here, but not one person has even mentioned who they voted for or who should be President. I actually
like it that way.
I'm glad I voted in PA because DC is just lop-sided Democrat.
Speaking of which, I think
we should just abolish voting outside of DC. After all, we're the ones who have to live and work a few thousand
feet from the man every day!
Yep. It underscores the folly and illusions that underlie isolationism and unilateralism.
