Warning! Warning! A Public Service Announcement:

Sorry about this everyone, but I'm taking a moment to speak of something I feel VERY strongly about: Voting. I'm speaking directly to every United States citizen 18 years of age and over, and urging you to vote in the upcoming election. Please, for the love of Jebus and your own body, vote! I really and truly believe that it is our civic duty to vote, at the very least in the presidential elections.

I find it very discouraging that in the 2000 election the turnout was in the 50% range. ONLY 50% of those who COULD vote DID vote. That, my friends, is heartbreaking. I was just reading that countries like Australia had implemented a FINE for those who did not vote and, as a result, have a 95% turnout. NINETY-FIVE!! What is wrong with the United States that OUR turnout is so damned low?

And SPEAKING of the 2000 election, let's not forget how THAT all turned out. I'm not going to say anything FOR or AGAINST who wound up in office, no I'm talking about how so many people seem to have criticism about it, and I say, if you didn't participate in the election at all, you have no right to say a darn thing, either way.

It's not just the president either. Voting for Congressmen will also take place, and my stance there is the same. You don't like how the country is run? Then vote for someone NEW in office. Like things fine? Vote to keep your representative in. If you don't vote, then you didn't make your thoughts on the matter known, so how can the government accommodate you?

I'm not here to tell who you should vote for, I just want you to vote! Because it's not up to ME, it's up to everyone!

If you have not yet registered to vote information on registration deadlines can be found HERE along with how to register. Remember, the elections this year are on November 2, check HERE for a time schedule that the polls in your local area will be open, and what may be required of you there (ie, a photo ID).

See that? I had a perfectly good chance to go on a political tirade and didn't take it! THAT's just how much this matters to me. To all of my visitors outside the United States, feel free to take this time to point and laugh at us silly Americans.

William (rocks the vote)
