Posted: 1/23/2006 4:43:18 AM | It's Election Day. Don't forget to get out there and vote. Remember, if you don't vote, you don't get to complain about the current government.
Does anyone have any last thoughts before heading to the polls? | |

The only other hope, no matter who wins, is that we can all work together to bring this country to where it should be. That will take all of us, and let's hope we are all up to it. | |

A fifteen year old could complain all he wanted, and no one could really blame him. The same could be said of a foreigner, who also has that right.
Sadly, not many Americans are really aware of the dynamics and the parties involved to make comments. That's too bad really. It would have been nice to hear their views. | |

Posted: 1/23/2006 3:34:58 PM | I voted first thing this morning.
It would be just great if we could have a large voter turn out all across the country. In most of the country, the weather is mild for January, so perhaps, just perhaps, more people WILL vote.

Posted: 1/23/2006 5:37:10 PM | Well, I voted and it was a great experience. I live in a very multi-ethnic working class area, and it was great to see people of all colours and nationalities getting involved with the democratic process.
I felt a little like Chris on Northern Exposure, taking it all in with pride and wonder.
Some of these people probably came from lands not so long ago that never allowed them to express their voice, and now they are free to.
