Dont kill me... But I have never voted. Not once. When I was younger I knew nothing about politics at all. NOTHING. So I figured I just shouldnt vote since I didnt know who or what I'd be voting for. And then as I got older I still havent. Probably because I still know NOTHING! =)
Thanks for hosting and for the reminder to vote! When I turned 18, the first thing my parents made me do was to go an vote. My father was born in 1924 and watched his family not have the opportunity to vote. He was a grown man before African-Americans could vote without the threat of being killed which is so ironic since he fought in WWII! Yes, being able to vote is a privilege! Thanks for the reminder.
Happy Tuesday! I am headed to the polls this morning. Ward was #60 when he voted. WI is going to be turned upside down - the people are sick of the shit and are bringing in some NEW blood.
I agree with you wholeheartedly! I get really annoyed with the apathy surrounding our elections over here in the UK. We have a very poor turn out rate, and it makes me angry!
There are people the world over who would fight tooth and nail to be able to democratically elect their country's leader! Women and ethnic minorities have demonstrated over the years and successfully secured the right to vote. We owe them a debt of gratitude, and should be proud to use our vote.
i early voted and am happy to report i am actively trying to make our world a better place. so i smile more, grant grace more (just don't ask the hubs on that one) and love better. i hope. have a blessed day! and as always… thanks for hosting!
Another non-voter here this year. I'm sick, can't get there and didn't look into other options. I don't really bitch that much, tho, so I can be OK w/it this time around.

Just sent in my ballot today! I do love living in a state where you get to vote by mail.
Thanks for hosting =)

People who don't vote seriously annoy me. Especially then when they bitch about everything that happens in government. Okay, off my soapbox... lol
Happy PINT!
I don't understand why anyone would not vote especially with the state our country is in right now. I'm going to exercise my right this morning.
Happy PINT! :)

I figure if I want the right to complain, I better vote!
My voted! Mwah!
Will definitely be out there to "Rock My Vote" today!
Don't exercise your right to vote, you don't have a right to bitch.
'nuff said.
Thank you for that reminder. I think I would have totally been a Suffragette.
I'm also glad to hear things are going a bit better.
Fight the power! ;]
I mailed mine in last week. !!!!!
YAY for Girl Power!

My 6 year old son was pretty upset that he couldn't vote with mom today. ;-)
I gave you a blog award on my blog! http://lolidots.com/loliblog
