Never have understood people who don't vote.... On the other hand I really don't mind them. The less they vote the more mine counts and the better I hope my person will win :)

After my first cruise over seas in Uncle Sam's canoe club and seeing peeps who absolutely NO SAY I how their lives are run, I have voted ever since.

Voter number 388!

Re: Vote people!
 

I voted almost 1.5 weeks ago! Got to love the Oregon mail in vote system. They send out ballots out 2 weeks before the election day.

Re: Vote people!
 

And the political ad phone calls stop! Yeah!!!!


:noon :noon:noon:noon:noon


I'd like to know how they got my unlisted number that has been registered on the do not call list?

Re: Vote people!
 

Voted this morning.... and there was a STRONG turnout. :tu

Re: Vote people!
 

They should try that here in Florida. We wouldn't have had any hanging chads or anything else hanging! :tu

Yes I rocked my Vote!:banger

Re: Vote people!
 

I voted.. woohoo, but I have voted in every election since I was old enough to vote.

Re: Vote people!
 

Just remember, local elections impact you more than the national elections (at least most of the time). I voted for a few in both parties this year.

Re: Vote people!
 

Voted after work and it was the first time since living here that I ever had to wait in line to vote. And I vote in every election, though the person I vote for almost never wins.

I know we're not sposda get political, but can I announce my disappointment in Alvin Green losing in SC? I woulda started watching CSPAN again just to hear him talk. :D

Re: Vote people!
 

And of course after voting, my candidate lost...even more reason for me to b*tch now. Damn incumbent has been in office for 18 years. :D

Re: Vote people!
 

There was one here who finally got the boot after 36 years... How out of touch do you think a politician is after almost 4 decades of being in the system?

I am very pleased people -did- turn out to vote, and that overall voter turnout was high, and that it seems there are at least _some_ more people showing interest in the candidates and how the system works, rather than being satisfied with the status quo, however that may be or have turned out in their district, state, parish, etc.

Re: Vote people!
 

36 years??? That is just crazy!!!

Re: Vote people!
 

I wonder what the demographics are on us? Do we, as cigar smokers vote more often than other groups with hobbies that bring them together?

I know we are VERY diverse. Virtually every ethnic and racial group is covered, young and old. There are plenty of SOTLs, and a lot of us have wives, so gender is covered too.

I am sure we are a microcosm of the world in general, because we aren't just Americans. My question is, are we MORE politically involved as a group than other people with similar interests?

In general, do Hikers vote more often then we do? Do golfers? What about scrapbookers?

:sh
