If you don't vote, I don't want to hear you gripe for four years." (Okay, I don't say "gripe," but I figured using the "b" word would get my post cut.)

I fought for your right to gripe, complain, object, protest, or agree. Whether you vote or don't vote that is your choice. If you vote that means you believe in one of the candidates. If you don't vote you don't believe in either one. Or you can go to the voting booths and write in another persons name. That is your right as an American citizen. But if you don't vote at all that is okay too. You will still be an American, you will still have the same rights as those who feel their vote actually counts. There are those set in their own ways that will probably try to tell you if you don't vote you don't have the right to say anything, but don't let it bother you. As the saying goes "Forgive them father for they do not know".

But don't worry, whether you vote for a candidate preselected, write in a candidates name, or express your freedom by not voting, you will still be an American citizen and you will still have the same rights to say what is on your mind and I won't love you any less if you don't vote. I will always be proud of you.

Who's In Play? Health Care Whip Count With GraphsMar 20, 2010
The graph tells who was in favor and against on Nov. 7, where they stand now, campaign contributions from the health industry, and number of uninsured in their districts.  This graph was updated on March 18, 2010. Keep this in mind in Nov. For instance, Steny Hoyer, received $3,293,409 in campaign contributions. Poor Nancy...only got $1,668,550. Gee, she should feel pretty bad. Some of her buddies have really outdone her in the contributions. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-sr ...

Please VoteAug 06, 2016
Regardless of whether or not you will vote for the office of president, there are other offices which need votes. There are issues of various types, local and state issues, that need a vote as well. In my state of Ohio, each local county PAYS for the cost in that county. Whether anybody shows up or not, the polls are still open, the poll workers still get paid. The polling machines are still rented. In short, there is a minimum cost to run the election. In my state, if there is not enough of ...

Second, of those who have announced (or will soon announce), who will you vote for in the primaries and why?

Some of you may be too young to remember the 1970s and the ERA.  You also may have never heard of Sonia Johnson, a Mormon women who was excommunicated from the Mormon church in the late 1970s for supporting the ERA and equal rights for women.  I had the occasion to speak with her after she wrote a book called "From Housewife to Heretic."  Anyway, long story short, I have firsthand experience as a former member of the Mormon church (and a very loyal, dedicated, and hardworking one ...

One of those issues involved the timing of federal elections. As a quick fix, they decided to leave it to individual states to set their own voting days, which led to several decades of &ldqu ...
