jrtomI don't normally ask for comments on my LJ. Today, I'm asking for them.
Talk to me about why it's important for you to vote--or why it's not.
Talk to me about the specific issues that are important to you.
Talk to me about what you hope the outcome will be--not just in terms of numbers, but what changes you hope that the results will entail.
Also, I will make this pledge: if anyone replies to this with a question something like "why do you think it's important to vote?" I'll try to give an original (and sincere) response each time I'm asked.
Above all else, though, get your ballot turned in. If you don't know how or where, ask me; I'll help you figure it out. You can _always_ (no matter what you are told) get a provisional ballot if all else fails--if you get crap about that, call me.

Date: 8 November 2006 04:54 (UTC)I voted because exercising one's right to vote and express democracy is one of the things that makes America great.
I voted because I have seen the slide to fascism in the states and it scares me. I wanted to send a message to the people in charge that they're screwing up and I won't take it lying down.
I voted because I want to see Nancy Pelosi as speaker of the house and then if the right people are impeached, our first woman president. It's a fantasy, but it would be awesome if it went down!
