As many of you know, today (October 6th) is the last day to register to vote in the state of Indiana. I encourage you all who have not registered to get registered!! This is a historic and intriguing election.
If you do not register to vote and subsequently don't vote, I don't want to hear any whining about the president. Since you didn't care enough to try to vote, you have no room to whine about the choice.
I wrote a blog awhile back, that got deleted, about voting. In fact it was after I got to vote for the first time. And it pretty much sums up my feelings on the matter.
"voting...
voting: the act of choosing someone to bring into the power of government.(note, this is my definition)
Voting: 7. to express or signify will or choice in a matter, as by casting a ballot: to vote for president.
Why do i bring this topic up? well, i voted for the first time yesterday. and i was thinking about a lot of my older friends who don't vote, even though they can. but they complain about who got elected and what they are doing. but they don't want to put their opinion in. i'm here to say that if you can't get off your lazy dumb ass to vote, then don't come complaining about how bad our president is and how awful our senator is being. it is your decision to change the world, but if you don't who will? no one, because everyone is to lazy to care about whether our president is killing innocents in Japan or whether we will be remembered as the most selfish of all generations. get off your lazy ass and stand up for what you believe in!!! if you think the world is going to hell in a hand-basket, vote for someone who you believe will do what needs to be done. Why are people so stupid?! if you want something done, you can't count on others to do it for you. do it yourself.
VOTE!!"
I still see it that way. So, if you aren't going to vote and you intend on coming to me with complaints about the president that is chosen, save your breath.
Now, moving on.
Barack Obama is having a rally in Indianapolis, Indiana on Wednesday October 8th. The doors open at 10:00am and the rally officially begins at 12:15pm. I encourage everyone who is able to go, to go. It is free and a historic event. This is history in the making folks!! These are the days we are going to tell our children and their children about when we get older. So, please, take a moment to appreciate the depth of this moment and then grasp your part and move up!!
In short, PLEASE VOTE!!!
