i feel that even though one vote is not a lot, when you combine the amount of people who do not vote, the make up a considerable amount of people that can greatly effect the outcome of an election
I think that voting is the most importing thing when it comes to how a country is ran. When people go out and vote it shows that they care about how thier country is ran
voting is very important in the united states when you are 18 i beg you to do the best thing as an American and vote for the person you think that will run our country . Most countrys dont even have the chance to vote so take this oppurtunity and use it .
VOTE FOR JOHN MCAIN AND SARAH PALIN!!!!!!!!!!!
DOn't listen to Olivia! If you care for justice and everything good and right in the world, vote for anyone BUT McCain and Palin, please. Now to the subject of voting, as a democracy, I find voting to be very important, although most Americans don't vote really the most educated way, they are mostly apathetic about politics, even though it runs everything in our lives and the lives of people all over the world. I believe we should push to educate more about politics and get children more involved in knowing what is going on inthe world and our government so we can choose a leader inan educated manner and not for petty reasons.
What is a Mouth without a Voice?
What is freedom without a choice?
We have been given an ultimate gift, but yet we do not use it
A paved pathway, however we refuse it
We sing and we rap about our problems, with disdain we complain
However when given the opportunity to turn our reactions into action, we sit back and we refrain.
Now, I’m not going to speak to those that came before us that suffered, bled, and died
Or the ones who were lied to, tricked, disenfranchised, and ruled ineligible when they tried
Or those that were not granted the right due to their sex or their gender
Or those prior to 1972, who had to go to war at age 18 but couldn’t vote until they turned 21
But I will, talk about you
About us
About Youth
About the 69 million of us between the ages of 18 and 24 that have a voice, and have been given an opportunity to make that voice heard.
In 2004 in the United States less than half of us turned out to the polls, and in South Carolina only 44% of this age group.
Now imagine if half was acceptable in other parts of life
Half of our paycheck, half on an exam, half of all of our free time
We have got to do better
We have the opportunity, the ability, and capacity to change the rest of time.
We have the power to clean up the Financial Markets
We have the power to lower gas prices
We have the power over foreign policy
We have the power to create a better tomorrow
However that power is not in what we say or even what we choose to believe in
That power comes on November the 4th when we exercise the pen
I think it is very important to vote!!! Use your voice and speak up, stand up for what you believe in show your intergrity! We NEED to vote and use our voice the voice that we're soooo lucky to have because if we don't then we are no longer a democracy! Don't take for granite the freedoms you have!!!!!!!!!!!!!
what is democracy if not all voices are heard.
democracy is very abstract, and sometimes, you just have to go with what you believe in
i believe that america made it as far as it did because of democracy, and democracy will bring us out of this mess. i hope. and if it doesnt, than we should at least agree on that
NO matter what they say, changing the world is totally G
Voting is incredibly important! If you believe that you don't have to vote because someone else will make the right choice for you, THINK AGAIN.
If you have something you believe in and think is right, VOTE for it! Change your thoughts into power and use your vote to make your voice heard.
Also, I am a democrat and I know it is important to vote because some laws and bills must be passed in order to have a good country!
PLUS, if people didn't vote for what they believed in, then Obama might have lost the election and we would have an older version of Bush in the White House.
Ladies and Gentlemen, by all means vote for whoever you want this is not a battle of who you are/ were/ will be voting for. This is about the importance of voting. Voting is indeed important, it is the one sure fire way that our voices can be heard- no matter what party you belong to. I unfortunately was unable to vote in the presidential election, i am not yet old enough to vote, but, I am however old enough to understand who I think who do the best job in office. That's why everyone should vote. That's what everyone should base it off of. I hate it when people walk into the booths and vote democrat straight down or republican straight down. Have some variety in your life. Think about what each person can do. Voting is important because of what's happening in Iran. We do not have to worry about our votes being fixed. We are very fortunate about that. Iran on the other hand is suffering.
Many would like to believe that the Congress or representative government can solve all of the people's problems. However, that is only if that's in the interests of the representative in question. On election day, the people vote to give their power away to their representative, stripping the power away from the people. It is imperative in a true democracy that the people have the power to make laws. Even though this is not a perfect system and the people may make mistakes on the first try, giving power to the people is like giving more and more responsibilities to a child. The more responsibilities that the child can handle, the more mature he or she will become. In legislation, it will be no different: the people will learn to mature and self-correct the mistakes they have made in this process.
Please see my project page for how you can get involved to help to give the people the power to make laws!
I think voting is important because your picking someone to be your leader of our nation. Some people complain about passed presidents and how they ruined a part of our nation one way or another and who knows most of those people may not have even voted. Then it becomes someone else's problem. So take an active role in voting and picking the right person for the job, ultimately its up to you, to us.
Millions of americans soldiers have died to just give you the right to vote, its up to you to exercize that right, if your not going to be informed regarding the issues and just willing to following what your friends think then your better off not voting. know the issues, learn both sides of the issue before you make a decision, then vote for what is best for the country in your opinion of the facts.

Young Americans need to realize that it is a very important right to be able to vote. One vote may not seem like alot, but when there are millions of those one votes, it makes a difference. Politics has been a job of the older, history has always shown that. The older like the way things use to be done, times and resources have changed.

Voting is very important it's your voice in the country and remember this quote, "bad politicians are elected by good ppl who dont vote."

I think its unexceptable to not vote. We are given this right, eventhough thousands of others are not. We need to take advantage of our oppurtunities.
