Hey guys,

I just wanted to remind everyone to vote on Tuesday. Not telling you who to vote for, which way to go or anything. Just show up at those polls and make your voice heard.

It's kinda easy to forget to do this, especially when you're planning for a vacation, but Misters Lincoln, Twain and Franklin would all want you to vote. (Not to mention Walt, "Mr. All-American"!)

It's a very important election this year, and we should all exercise our right to vote.

That's all. Vote.
Thanks.
Thanks.

we took advantage of early voting!! what an easy way to do it! i agree--just get out there and VOTE!!

We voted a few weeks ago. DH had no problems - he gave them his name and they gave him his ballot.

Me, on the other hand, well, they informed me that I didn't exist. I am one of those obnoxious people who goes by their middle name (my mom's fault - she named me but called me Robin). About 2 years after we got married, I decided I should probably change me name on my drivers license. So I went ahead and jused used my first initial then my middle name. Oh yeah, I also hyphenate my last name.

I can't figure out why they couldn't find my voter registration (rolleyes here).

Finally they just tried my pre-married name. Alas I was found and was able to vote.

[Hayley]

Yay Fortissimo!!!

I'm glad you exist!!

Actually, one of my friends had trouble voting--they refused him several times. Plus, they called him to jury duty, and because he couldn't vote, he refused to go. Finally, after four letters to him, he wrote back, "If you won't let me vote, I won't go to jury duty!"

They haven't bothered him since. And, his registration was accepted, thanks to Motor-Voter.

Go figure.

I will be going right after school with my kids, yep here in western NY they have kids voting they fill out a paper ballot etc. They have a sheet from school they have to get signed saying they voted!! I think it a great way to start the positive voting. Your vote does matter!!! Also tommorrow Hubby's 33rd Birthday!!

We completed our ballots tonight. (Monday) Oregon has gone to vote by mail, and this is our first general election that is strictly vote by mail. For those procrastinators like me, we can drop our ballots off at either the County Clerks office or a local County School tomorrow.

Happy voting!

You bet I'm voting! This is my first time voting in a primary or otherwise! I can't wait! DH and I are voting this evening! Can't wait! Can't wait! Can't wait! Did I mention that I can't wait. I'm so excited!
I was too young by 1 DAY last election! I can't wait!

[WildForWD]

Way to go Beaner!!
Congradulations on your 1st vote!!
It's always an exciting time!
Cruella got out to vote at 8:30 this am and there were 195 that had already voted! That's pretty good for our little town.
My youngest was off school today so I took him in to vote with me. Try to get him involved early!


After doing The American Adventure it reminds us of what a privilage it is to be able to vote, and what we went through to get that right!


So be proud, and let your voice be heard!!

I've voted every year since I was 18, so that makes 35 years! That is except for 1 year about 8 years ago. They told me I was not registered and they never did find me, so I couldn't vote! BUT I was there to vote, so in my mind that counts.

You know, Wild, The American Adventure does make you realize what a priviledge it is. It's great there seems to be a large turnout today, but I wish it carried over into our everyday lives. With a husband who saw combat in Vietnam and a daughter who is presently serving in the Army Reserves I am so dismayed when citizens do not do the pledge to the flag with the respect it deserves.

Take care-

Well, I feel terrible. I tried to go vote today...I got down to the polls to find the wait was 2-3 hours long. I tried to stay in line but I just couldn't physically do it. I had to fast for 18 hours today for a 4 hour long glucose tolerance test which has left me feeling pretty lousy. Not to mention, the building was filled to capacity and about 110 degrees inside. On top of that, I have to go to the bathroom every 5 minutes with the baby pushing on my bladder so..I know all this must sound like some lame excuse, but I really did want to vote. I cried when I finally left I felt so bad. Anyway, that is my sad story for the day !

I presented myself at the polls this morning (although the time will indicate it was yesterday, it is only 11pm here) at 7am, and walked out of the building at 7:35am. Not bad. I can't imagine what it was between 5 & 7 pm. New Mexico (dispite the fact that the news has given it to Gore) is still up in the air. VERY CLOSE!! Hope everyone took the opportunity to vote. Remember, some people are still fighting for that right.
So much for my political stance.

Can you believe how close this is? And on top of it we are waiting on Florida. Wow, we have never seen one this close. Just shows, you gotta vote. I voted up here at 10:30 AM and only had to wait about 5 min.

Waited about 1 hour 15 minutes to vote yesterday, and about half way through, all I could think was...."If only there was a WDW ride at the end of this line, it wouldn't be so bad!". Turned out to be a pretty pleasant time even with kids in tow....talked with lots of people and saw many neighbors and their kids. -HiddenMickey
