Don't vote

This year, I want you to do something for me. Or rather, I want you to not do something for me. Don't vote. Don't listen to all the garbage MTV is spewing about "rock the vote", don't be informed and chose the candidate that would be best at meeting your needs and sharing you opinions. I want you to not vote this fall so that when I vote, it'll be like I'm voting for both of us. Shoot, if I can get ten people in this country to not vote, then when I vote, it'll be like ten votes for the guy I vote for. Hypocrite you say? No silly, think of it like this, I'm voting for you. It's so hard to take time out of your busy life, drive all the way to your voting location, get out of your car, hang up your phone... Besides, you might be forced to interact with people and we all know where that leads. So as a service to my fellow Americans, I've watched CNN for nearly 20 minutes now and I think I'm ready to go down and cast my vote. I know you agree with me, and it would be illegal to use your voter I.D. to vote a second time, so I'll just ask you to not vote, thereby making my vote count for both of us...

Sounds pretty stupid huh? Well so is not voting. It's your right as an American, and it's a right many people have died defending. I don't care who you vote for, thats for you to decide. Whats important is that you get out and vote. The more people who do, the better chance we have of successfully electing the candidate that best represents the interests of the greatest amount of Americans. It's not hard, it's free, and it's easy. If you still don't think it's important, ask someone who has lived in a country run by a dictator.

If you value any part of the laws or Constitution of this country, vote for the person who will best defend them. Don't give that excuse of "I didn't vote because both candidates are corrupt"... No man is perfect, but at least we can keep in check those who would take over and run things their way without any thought or resistance to things that will harm everyone but them.

Vote for yourself and do it because you can.
