Not because of Leonardo DiCaprio (*hurl*) or any of those famous people, but because I had NO IDEA I had to register by a certain date! I haven't registered to vote since I turned 18, and I only did it then because I got extra credit in my Government class for doing it.<BR/>This election is super important to me, and for some reason THIS TIME I feel like I can actually make a difference. I've never felt that way before about any other election.Denahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06465218895402048240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5426265511324011226.post-39492578286066499732008-10-05T12:20:00.000-07:002008-10-05T12:20:00.000-07:00How I respect you for encouraging information over...How I respect you for encouraging information over infatuation (ugh, or knee-jerk "my party" response) regarding ANY candidate! Think it is very easy to become enamoured with superficial aspects on either side, and not fully explore the impact of that all too easily facilitated vote.<BR/><BR/>My kiddos have come with me to vote every year since their birth...and lemme tell you, a double stroller at an assisted living community (our polling place) is QUITE the added attraction. Our kids wish we voted every day. ;) <BR/><BR/>Earlier this year, our four person family EACH favored a different candidate...and each had a well-founded basis for their declared preference. (Even at age 7, our two were specific in their factors of import...)<BR/><BR/>As always, great post, ThreeUnder!Cheryl Lagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03368796775852338505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5426265511324011226.post-15397386651090916452008-10-05T07:16:00.000-07:002008-10-05T07:16:00.000-07:00That Julie person - I don't know how she could sta...That Julie person - I don't know how she could stand that close to Dustin Hoffman and not touch him.

I think you're the first person who has ever stated this (that I've heard any way.)<BR/><BR/>I'm *so* not a political person, and in the past, didn't really care enough to be informed...and told people as much. I also wavered on whether I should vote. MAN, you'd think I'd told people that I was going to cut their heads off or something.<BR/><BR/>I'm more informed now, and I'm still unsure if I'll vote - but probably will.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01131976831557567016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5426265511324011226.post-71377535155814505252008-10-04T09:40:00.000-07:002008-10-04T09:40:00.000-07:00Amen to that!

I can not believe the number of people who vote because that's how everyone else is voting.<BR/><BR/>I've been known to vote in elections and not cast a ballot for any candidate if I don't feel educated enough to make a decision.LauraChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14322568136833382134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5426265511324011226.post-40336852302495716952008-10-04T08:34:00.000-07:002008-10-04T08:34:00.000-07:00I always take my kids with me too and they have a ...I always take my kids with me too and they have a voting booth set up for kids...they need to know.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5426265511324011226.post-66036433842003903752008-10-04T08:31:00.000-07:002008-10-04T08:31:00.000-07:00I will NOT be voting in this election because I'm ...I will NOT be voting in this election because I'm Canadian and haven't applied for my US citizenship yet.<BR/><BR/>I do think it is important to know what you are voting for. Interestingly, Canada has upcoming elections. They had a debate the SAME night as the American Vice Presidential debate (dumb move) so not many Canadians actually watched it to see who they want for Prime Minister. They were too busy watching Biden-Palin. <BR/><BR/>I've always thought Canadians should get to vote in the US elections. We have about as much as stake!WIDNEY WOMANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11745041460737736274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5426265511324011226.post-66238554057824442292008-10-04T06:54:00.000-07:002008-10-04T06:54:00.000-07:00Amen!EmAmen!<BR/><BR/>EmAshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00084508582913500810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5426265511324011226.post-78583024373690411342008-10-04T01:51:00.000-07:002008-10-04T01:51:00.000-07:00I agree with everything you said, especially on a ...I agree with everything you said, especially on a local level.
