I hate to say it, but I don't vote. I feel shame for not doing so b/c I know my ancestors fought long and hard for me to have this priveledge. I am just not interested in politics, in fact I hate politics. I have had this attitude for some time and am trying to change it b/c I realize that things will not change if I don't give my input. Maybe I'll start next year

I use my right to vote. But I still don't see the results I would like to see. (shrugs)

I Vote, but these days voting is not enough. People need to get nore involved in their community and petition to gov. officials, whom we vote in, to do what we see needs to be done.

Ever since becoming a citizen of this country, I have voted in elections and in primaries. He can't complain about the government if you don't exercise your right to vote. You never if all those people who talked about their vote not counting had voted in the past presidential election, things might have been different.

I have to say that every vote counts. Take the last U.S presidential elections for example, that was some crazy stuff, when the results were in a lot of people were quite suprised. :
