Hands up if you voted!

I have no right to complain about how things are in this country if I don't even take the first step as a citizen and use my right to vote that so many have died to protect.

I really don't want to get into parties either, but I'm explaining my personal situation and don't want to cause any conflict (there's been more than enough of it!).

I live in Tennessee. I knew the odds were against me. TN always goes red. Even knowing I would be on the losing side, I still went out and voted. It doesn't matter if you think your individual vote matters in the whole scheme of things, it should matter that you have the incentive and passion to do what is right in society by voting even if the odds are against you. That you care enough not to take your rights for granted, no matter what.

My dad has decided not to vote anymore because he lives in TN for that very reason. Just a waste of gas in his opinion.

The state I live in is always red too. However, I am not a fan of either party, so I voted libertarian.

I think of it this way, it can't hurt to go ahead and vote, regardless of whether you're on the winning or losing side. I like the Green party. I usually like Independents better, but, unfortunately, they don't stand a chance..

Voted Early
this year.

I believe making the conscious choice not to vote is also part of that right. If you don't believe in someone enough to vote in them, then do they truly deserve your vote?

The other way around it is to choose the least worst of them.

And it does make me wish more parties could contend with better prospects.

I did! For Romney! Republicans all the way!

scream NO Rommey will doom us all T.T There are like 40 million people on disability (Sp?) checks for not being able to work. and he will take that away from us T.T

I voted but not to some one who will take money that the people need T.T My mom is trying to get it. And she is a Vet. That means she served her country. And he wants to take that money away from her T.T Shame on him Runs out after saying my peace

We can't afford Disability any way, just like social security is bankrupt. Obama has spent more than all the other presidents combined. He has weakened our national defense, he has allowed illegal aliens to be full citizens with no documentation to be legal citizens after he let them thru the border, he tells us to spend less when he is flying in a chef on air force one (which takes a million dollars in security to take off) to cook pizza for his family when he is telling us to cut back, he is concerned about exporting jobs but he sent the Martin Luther King Jr. American monument to be done in China and it came back with squinty eyes. American monument should be made here and he is for socialism. All the socialistic countries borrow money from us to stay afloat. Look at the real issues. He is prepping us for a take over. He also will not cover his heart for the pledge of allegiance and his wife was not proud to be American til she was first lady. Really this is who you want to b president?

Voted, after work. Thank God I don't live in those a** backwards states that ended polls at 6 or 7pm, which totally is uncool to the working class. I didn't get home until 7! Thankfully my state had polls open later, so I got my vote in easy. No line at the place either biggrin

[iKiTTY Fo-Oh]

I voted! OBAMA! cat_cool

I voted!
It was my first presedential election too uvu

I don't like how my state voted, but my county's schools are shut down for the entire day on Nov. 6th, and we go to all the elementary schools are used to vote. We use paper ballots emotion_awesome
I really think all places should do this, so people can actually vote
But hey
Maybe that's just me

Let's not talk about political parties here. I just want to know who took the initiative to vote. 'Cause that s**t is important.

Hooray for taking advantage of the right bestowed upon us. uvu

Of course I voted! Too much important stuff not to.

[vulture0fculture]

First time voting and I finally feel like a citizen!
I mean it saddens me whenever I see people don't vote.
It's usually because they are too lazy or don't understand the value of it.
Myself as an a African American woman would of not been able to vote for a long time, but my rights were fought for by my ancestors. So to pay respect to them I did get my butt out there in the freezing cold to vote smile


Also I am not trying to start drama! I just hope people will open their eyes and see how important voting is 4laugh
