How many of you actually vote.

[Jill1228]

Yes I vote!
I wholeheartedly agree with the "If you don't vote, then quit yer bitchin' "

Another thing. Some of my ancestors (who grew up in the South...no I am NOT bashing the South) were not able to vote or had to jump thru hoops (not to mention risk bodily harm) to vote because of their gender and the color of their skin.

I have the right to vote. Not taking advantage of that right is a slap in the face to my ancestors

I've voted in every election since i turned 18. (way back in '97) I got absentee ballots sent to me in college so i could vote in my home county.

Now that i'm up here, i've got to get registered to vote on the rez. Since i'm a enrolled member of the tribe, i get to vote for Tribal President!

And i also need to get registered to vote so i can help SD kick that commie daschle out of office [/obligatory conservative propaganda on political thread]

I've voted in every election I could, and will continue to. I'm starting to learn more about the city politics of Boston, so I will probably vote for city council and such next elections.

[CC1GC]

...and it looks the same for the next federal election....where's my homie Charest? If i do vote, it will be a damaged ballot voting for myself.

In regards to voting, i meant sometimes politicians take heat for larger economic issues that they have little control over.

[OrigamiTulip]

I've voted in every election but one since I was 18. The one I missed was a minor local election, and I didn't even know there was an election happening. No mentions in the paper, no signs or advertisments for candidates, nothing. Just the next day, the paper ran an article announcing winners and complaining aout turn out. Of course there was pathertic turn out. No one knew there was an election in the first place... grrr.

[Kevin]

I even vote in municipal elections.

[Shine]

I vote in every national, state and local election, including just ones with propositions.

[Rio_Kohitsuji]

My parents are VERY involved in politics...therefore I was dragged into it..but..I thank them for it

I've never missed -any- election since I've turned 18.

[Tom Earp]

cc1gc,

if you do not vote dont bitch!

Dont complain if who you wanted to get in or a new law is passed that you dont like. If you cannot vote, then do not complain.

While your one small vote as someone said doesnt mean much, then a lot of small votes just might!

Hope this clear the clouds up for you! Blue Sky, is very pretty, but rain makes the grass grow!

[Senusret I]

I always vote!

I get giddy on election day....yes, I am a dork. But I love going to the polling place and casting that vote.

[EagleChick19]

I always vote. I've been registered since I turned 18. But, I'm also a Political Science major.

[AZ-AlphaXi]

I've voted in every election since 1971. Now you know how old I am. I registered at 18 in Kentucky when you still had to be 21 to vote in most other states. I still remember my grandmother telling me what it was like to be able to vote for the first time when she was in her mid-twenties. Its something I try never to take for granted.

My understanding is that you can register to vote at 17, provided that you will be 18 on or before the next election day. My son will miss the next presidential election by 2 months.

[Peaches-n-Cream]

I think that if your son are going to be 18 in 2004, he can vote in the Presidential election. You should contact the Board of Elections to find out the correct answer.

[cash78mere]

you better believe i vote!

i turned 18 in 1996 so i was so excited to vote in the presidential election that year.

i don't understand why people don't vote. people worked so hard to get me that right, and i'm not going to let it pass by me

[lionlove]

I have voted in every election but one, it was a town election where the incumbent recreation director was running unopposed. I missed that one.
