VOTE!
 
I'll keep this short and to the point, while trying to tip-toe around the forum ban on politics and keeping this as neutral as humanly possible.

Please DO NOT turn this into a political thread endorsing any candidate/party or political stand.
Also, if you were wondering I'm an American citizen and I, of course, voted (would have been pretty hypocritical If I didn't :) ).

Voting is one of the most important things you can do.
Any responsible citizen should vote if allowed to do so.
You should vote.
Vote.

If you don't vote, you can't complain.

but I can't vote, I'm not 18 yet..... :(
so I think I should be able to complain since this will impact my generation the most.

I already voted. Miracle of absentee ballots and all that.

I think it actually goes, If you can vote and you don't, you can't complain. If you can't vote, you can complain.

Doesn't necessarily mean those who did vote have to listen to your complaining, though.

I'm voting Tuesday, as I have done in every election that I've been of age to do so.

I voted Thursday. This will be the first presidential weekend since I turned 18 that I won't be working at a pole on election day.

I voted for my first time on Sat. I had to wait 45 mins, but it was WELL WORTH IT. To know I had a say for once in MY Government. I wont say who I voted for. But I have supported him since he announced he was going to run.

Re: VOTE!
 
I will be voting (going in to work late to do so)

Just an addition, make an INFORMED vote. Meaning, "Well, all my friends are doing it" is NOT a valid argument for voting any more than it is for doing anything else.

I can't vote (too young) but encourage everyone, no matter who they support, to do so. But...

YES. I have heard FAR too many frivolous reasons to vote for or against either of the major candidates, which an alarming number of people actually listen to. The ONLY consideration, in my mind, should be who's policy will, in your opinion, take the country in a better direction.

If we can build robots, we can vote responsibly too.

Re: VOTE!
 
I early voted this past Friday, where it was a 2 hour wait!
Needless to say, I was very excited because it's the first presidential election I've been able to participate in.
I'm real excited to watch the coverage on Tuesday! I've blocked out my entire night to see how it all pans out.
So, in conclusion, I agree.
If you can...

GO VOTE!!

I remember my mother doing this when I was a small child. Sorry, but I rather have a good nights sleep and hear about it the next morning. I'm also not much of a political junkie. I do vote!

I just hope, for your sake Alivia (and I suppose, the rest of the country ;)) that it won't end up like the Bush/Gore situation and you'll have to block out November, December, and part of January to see how it pans out. :)

CNN is looking into why my wife and I have not received our absentee ballots yet. It will be hard to vote in person from London.

A good site to check out is:
http://ballotpedia.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page

It does a reasonable job of posting ballot measures for each state. It also does a reasonable job of posting both sides of the argument. Remember Ballot Measures are put up by very enthusiastic groups, and opposed by equally enthusiastic groups. Please vote informed.
