I'm not going to presume to tell you who you should vote for...but I sure as hell will tell you to get out there & cast your votes! Why we take this right for granted is beyond me. The percentage of Americans who vote is embarrassing...in 2008 it was 61% & that was considered high (it was 55% in 2004...yes that heated election got barely over half)! In Iraq they voted in the 62+%(down from mid-70's in previous election) & in Afghanistan about 40-50%...& they had to risk & in some cases lose their lives to do so!
Our Founding Fathers as well as our Grand & Great Grandfathers came from countries where they could not vote! They were ruled by a bunch of inbred deformed derelicts (generally only not completely retarded due to arranged marriages with the children of foreign rulers over treaties) who came to power by being born into it after their fore-fathers took land, the lands natural resources & woman to breed with by force. These same rulers claimed they ruled by Divine Right and were backed up by the Religious Leaders of the Church (now you know why if not before why we separate Church & State here).
As I have stated before talk is cheap & actions speak louder then words. Everyone is speaking their mind one way or another about what's going on with Unemployment, Financial Reform, Healthcare, etc...well now is your time to have your say & cast your vote for which way you think things should go. Also a few key things that I though everyone was aware of...but have found many are not...
Regardless of how you are registered...Elephant, Donkey, Indie...you can vote for whoever you want party wise
You do NOT have to vote for only one party across the board...if you don't like who is running for a particular role then either vote for the other parties candidate if you like them or to send a message. Vote for an independent or other if you don't like either of the two primary parties candidates
You can only vote for those in your State. So whether you want Nancy out or you want her in you cannot vote either way for her Senate seat unless you live in CA . However how you vote for those running for house seats will determine if she keeps her role as Speaker of the House (please note; I was asked by a friend-family member whose name shall remain anonymous to protect the guilty if they could vote for or against party leaders. Nancy P simply makes the best example. This applies towards any & all others regardless of role or party. The only exception is the Presidential Election which of course is National).
If you're not going to vote...then when it comes to Political issues...feel free to keep your thoughts to yourself.
You have no excuses...you speak your mind all day long about this, we hear about it all night on TV from the pundits & read all about it in the morning paper. Unlike many others around the world you can have your say...so speak up & vote this Tuesday!
