Get out today and Vote!!

[Bill Pemberton]

Regardless of your Political Party or leanings, take advantage of your right to vote in this great Democracy! For those of us who have lived in other Countries, it is much easier to see what a blessing we have in the US to vote and be a part of decisions on how things are governed. Sure we do not always agree, but all of us can still exercise our right to vote as we please. This is not a Dictatorship where a vote is nothing more than a tally , we are in a personal position to make our feelings known. So take this blessed right, vote how you feel, and it is especially important in your area of the US, as folks often are apathetic when there are many very important proposals within their own State.

Good example is in my State, where a minimum wage rule is being put on the Ballot. Regardless of how one feels this is a vote that will affect folks in many ways , regardless of the outcome, so it is just one reason ( there are many ) we all need to vote. There are other very important items in each State, not just the normal Governor, Senate, and House voting, so exercise your right.

We often do not realize what a huge benefit we have in America, so however you may feel , go make your mark on a Ballot today.

I work out of state and voted by mail.
this could be a very interesting day.

 

[Bill Pemberton]

Agree TMS, voting days are always interesting. In 50 years of voting I have never gotten all my choices , haha! So many different things to make our personal choices on, but I am so thankful we are allowed to go to the polls and use this right.

Good luck today! Will be watching from afar with great interest. Here we have gone back to mandatory voting, what a relief!!!!! Would be great to see that in all the worlds governments.

I dunno, an argument can be made that people who don't want to vote are best left out of the process. The thought is that if forced to vote they'd likely check the first box on the ballot and walk away, which could lead to some really bad outcomes. That would be worse than not voting at all, IMHO.

Personally, I vote, I have never missed an opportunity to vote in all 3 levels of government elections.
Turn out for votes is not great these days, municipal elections are usually the lowest turnout and yet the people running for municipal roles are the closest to us and potentially can have the biggest impact on citizens.

 

[Bill Pemberton]

Nice to see you have voted every time you have had a chance JDee. Both the US and Canada have to rank as two of the strongest Democracies in the World --- our right to vote has to be an integral part of that!

 

[Mad Hatter]

I guess you guys are a "little" more stable then down here in Latin America... the problem here, was that most people didn't want to go out and vote, So with only 40% of the population voting, then the unhinged 21% can sent the country into a tail spin.

 

[Bill Pemberton]

Are you saying you are tired of having a dish of Chile Con Loco!?

Have to admit , mandatory voting is a good idea, though.

 

[PatrickStapler]

I bought groceries, filled up my truck at Sunoco and read the local crime stats to get me in the right frame of mind, then I voted

[PatrickStapler]

Yeah...he just exudes Senatorial qualities... .

 

[PatrickStapler]

Likely one of his constituents behind him...smoke some more "legal" weed you dumb ass. However, you might want to put that Twinkie down and back away from the table a little more often.
