are you resigestered to vote?

Yes. I think citizens should have to pass a simple test to vote. As an example, for a national election you should have to be able to name at least one of your State's Senators and the current President. Ever watch Jay Leno's Jay Walk bit. It's really an eye opener.

Go to your local post office and re-register to vote.\nAsk someone at the counter to help you. It's quick and easy.

Yes, I do. Local and national elections. So that means I get to whine and pule and complain as much as I want about those in office I didn't vote for, right?

People vote or don’t vote for a number of reasons.  Since I could first vote (1952) I have never missed an opportunity to vote (across three States), so obviously voting is important to me.  However, I would not apply the same to everyone.  Those who don’t vote simply make it easier for the rest of us to get our candidates and issues winning the vote.\n\nHowever, voting should not be the only rule of being proactive.  Do you (voters) know who is elected and appointed to positions in your own community.  Are you familiar with the budgets for the various jurisdictions?  Do you attend council meetings and county board of supervisor meetings?  Do you attend the work sessions for the various issues? \n\nIn opinion, voting is only part of the citizen’s responsibilities.  So if you are going to knock people for not voting, you should also knock voters who are not aware of what is going on in their own community.

why we should exercise our right to vote

I, like most Americans I would bet, haven't been paying enough attention. The few news sound bites and newspaper headlines is hardly enough to be making such decisions.  However, I still have enough faith in our elected officials to are sitting through hours of testimony and reviewing documents and such, to make the right decision.  So if they vote 'em in, the my answer to your question is 'yes'.

Yes, by all means, VOTE!\n\n(unless you're Republican, of course - JUST KIDDING!).\n\nYou're right, it is a sign of our times, dirty tricks on both sides (some already proven), questionable voting machines ,etc.  But you should vote for two reasons:  \n\nAs an American citizen it is your right and duty to vote.  The only way to ensure our Democracy is for our citizens to exercise their rights under that Democracy, including voting for those who will lead it and shape its policies.\n\nIf you believe that the current Administration is bungling the war in Iraq, or can't handle a disaster like Katrina, or disagree with Bush's assessment that Rumsfeld and Cheney are doing a heck of a job (like "Brownie" did), then you need to vote Democratic to restore a balance of power in Washington.  If you think America is 100% on the right track, and that the President should have almost unlimited power, with a rubber-stamp congress and superceding even the Constitution, you should vote Republican.\n\nEither way, you should vote.  Regardless of who they vote for,  I hope all good citizens do and vote their conscience, not what their party or religious leaders tell them to.

people are getting lazy, most think that if they vote it wont make a difference (when it really does) and so they dont vote. when the rest of us make a decision that people dont agree with they gripe. if you vote, congratulations, and if you ever talk to someone who doesnt vote and gripes about the gov't tell them to change it by voting

Lots of us DO!\nThose that don't mistakenly think their vote doesn't matter.\nOr they think registering is hard, or too "big-brother-ish"\nThey forget that voting is a PRIVILEGE that many countries do not offer!!!!

No, if you do not vote then you are slapping the face of all the U.S. soliders that died fighting for your right to vote.

Rarely.  Doesn't mean I should quit voting - then I would be GUARANTEED to be disappointed.
885775
Already did!  My daughter and I (she is only 5, but I always bring her with me so she sees how important it is to vote) went at 6:45am, and were number 77 at our polling place.\n\nI was disappointed that more people weren't in line...hopefully it will pick up and more people will turn out to vote.  I don't care which party you belong to, or who you vote for, just VOTE!!!

Draft reinstating was not on the ballot....so no I did not vote for it, nor did republicans.  If it was on the ballot, then I would vote NO...I don't believe that a vote is needed for this action anyway, if the government finds the need to reinstate the draft, they will, this is why boys are required to fill out draft cards at age 18.  The reason the government, no matter which party is hesitant to do this is because it would be very unpopular come the next election.

You can vote however you want tomorrow, unless you voted early already.  Vote your conscience first, then spit.
