By not voting, you have in essence, given up your rights to complain about ANY upcoming issue you don't agree with.
I have siblings that hadn't voted in the past and I told them simply:
If you don't like WHO is running, then at least vote for the referendum questions. You have to voice your opinion.
Whenever I hear someone REALLY complain about an issue, I ask them if they voted. If they say yes, I acknowledge it and let them continue (they earned the right to complain). If they say no, I just tell them to be quiet, since they didn't bother to vote in the first place, they really shouldn't voice their opinion now.

sooooooo,

by NOT voting ~~which is ALSO your right~~

are you suggesting that we give up our
inalienable right of Freedom of Speech??

dunno which dictatorship that happens in,
but in the Good Old US of A, we ARE STILL

Free to Speak our Minds, right??

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

voted at 2:25, SAUGUS
in and out in 5 mins, no lines
and me 5yo daughter got to
fill in the blanks,,,,,,,she LOVED voting

for "Orack Obama", as she said. she got
it right by the time we left there. MOST FUN
i've ever had expressing my right to choose.

"The first condition of happiness is that the connection
between man and nature shall not be broken."~~ Leo Tolstoy

Tight Lines, and
Happy Hunting to ALL!

You have to have your priorities
