If you do not get out and vote on November 4th!
I don't care who you vote for, I don't care what side you are on, but don't come complaining to me if your voice is not heard, or you don't agree with the state of our great country in 2009 and beyond because you did not get off your duff and go out and vote for what and who you believe in!
We live in the greatest county in the world, the country that gives you a say in what happens here, but if you don't vote in the elections, if you don't make your voice heard you and you alone are giving power to those that are against us!
There is a reason why this country is in the situation that it is in right now, and that is because not enough people cared enough in the last couple of go arounds to have their voices heard.
I am not just talking Presidental elections here either, I am talking local and state level elections!
The President only holds so much power here people, thats why he is a President and not a Dictator. Like my students are learning about right now in Social Studies, we have a checks and balances here, and the Congress is just as much at fault for this mess as the President, if not more so.
If you don't care enough to vote for your Representatives and Senators when they are up for election on the off years, then I guess we don't care about what happens to us as a country. You don't care if we hit another Great Depression, you don't care if we are taken over by another country, you just don't care.
If you don't care about who is on your local school board, you don't care about the state of Education in America because let me tell you those local school boards hold a lot of power!
If you don't care about your city and county commisioners, then I guess you don't care about the crime rate, or housing situation in your town either.

Check your local deadlines for Registering to vote! Florida's is tonight at midnight, Georgia's is the 6th, Ohio and Penn are later this week.
