I think this is too important to be relegated to the Political forum.

Whether you thinks democrats suck or Republicans make you want to puke, please get out and vote if thier is voting in your state today.

Too many Americans sacrificed thier lives for you to be able to do this.

Please don't disrespect thier sacrifice by saying "it doesn't matter" or show apathy.

There are plenty of people around the world who would give thier left arm to be able to have the priviledge we do.

Thanks.

Going down in an hour.

Tempting to say f&^% it, but Flap is right - it's a voice we have and we should use it.

yes, its importnat to vote, but its also important to make an informed decision. I hear it all the time that people don't know how to decide. Here is my advice,
write down the 3 most important things you want in the future of this country. Then do some research on how each candidate stands on the issue. Make your decision based on that.

Great post. Here is a website that may be able to help some people decide who to support in the election. A lot of people don't know where candidates stand on issues that are important to them, so they either vote based on what people tell them or what they see on t.v. ads. This site will show you how your views align with the different candidates' views. I took the quiz and it confirmed that the candidate I will be voting for later is the right one for me.
