Political Shiznit

Ok y'allz...I'm not going to get preachy here or tell you who to vote for. That's nobody's business but yours and the voting booth's.

But I am telling you to get out there and VOTE. Your opinions on how this country is being run are more powerful than you can imagine.

Did you know that every major US presidential election since 1970 was decided by LESS THAN 60% of the eligable voting population? This is just a sad state of affairs on so many levels. Can you imagine how different the course of this nation over the last 30 years would have been if that turnout was closer to 70%? Just look at how apathetic we are compared to just four other democratic nations (taken from Wikipedia):

So get out there and PARTICIPATE, people!!! If you missed the chance to register, don't shrug your shoulders and say "oh well"...REGISTER NOW so you can cast your vote in the next one! You have the POWER!!!!
