Seriously, Don’t Vote

October 6, 2008 by Holly

Don’t vote if you don’t care about the recession or the financial crisis or the recently passed $800 billion financial bailout. Don’t vote if you don’t care about health care or the education of your children. Don’t vote if you don’t care about women’s rights or human rights. Don’t vote if you just don’t care–About America, about yourself, about your children, about the rights we all depend on every day.

Where I live, the deadline to get your voter registration in is today. While you’re out running errands, stop by the post office and drop off your voter registration. What’s the worst that can happen, you’ll have a say in this election?

This is the most crucial election you will probably vote for you in your lifetime, don’t let your voice not be heard. If you aren’t registered to vote, go to Vote for Change and register right now. If you don’t know if you’re registered, you can find out if you are and even where your closest polling place is.

    Seriously I don’t think that voting helps anyone. I hate politics and the fact that it is all a popularity contest. I would have gladly voted back when Roosevelt or Reagan were running. Then it was all about what they beleive, now how they look, dress, and how many stupid comedy television shows they are on or how old or young they are. It’s all a popularity show and pageant show right now! It’s sad and depraving.
