Just a Friendly Reminder....

VOTE YOU FOOLS!



Every election counts- each vote tallied not only is put toward the canidate of your choosing- it's also used to determine how money is spent in America.
Each teen, elderly, or middle aged, Minority or majority vote determines who the people in congress pay attention to (the scamp times that they do)
I don't give a rats behind who you vote for...(alright, thats a fithly lie, I do) but as long as you vote I won't have to crush your skull, eat your babies, maim you with a cowbell, or any other such christopher walken assault tactic.

Remember, voting is more than a privelage, It's a responsibility =)

I am sure that my vote has nothing to do with who is elected President.
America does not have a direct popular election for President.
That is determined by the Electoral College.

There was a CNN special where they covered exactly what happens when we vote, in 46 states it realy dosnt matter if 1 person votes or if everyone votes, in the other 4 states they spit there electorial votes depending on the popular vote.


So in lets say Texas, 99% of the people could vote for Kerry and it wouldnt matter, Bush still takes all the electorial votes.....

In one of the other 4 states if 30% of the population votes bush and 50% for kerry and 10% for a third party they split the electorial votes the same way.


So in all reality there is no point in voting.........rember Bush lost the popular vote but still won cause of the electorial votes, so voting is pointless.

Yes, the electoral college does decide who wins the election, but they have always voted the same as the people.

That's actually not true. There have been times when they have voted against the popular vote.
