Cheers to you, my friend. It's incredibly important and it never ceases to amaze (and sadden) me how many apathetic citizens we have in this country. Congrats to your daughter, too!

I started studying the way our votes are counted and how much impact any of us actually has on the outcome. I was horrified. Not to mention, we are given the same political candidates whether democrat or republican. They all get on their soapbox about a certain issue ... lying to our faces. Not a single one of them ever follows through with anything he says. So, even if I did vote based on issues, I really would not know what I am getting in the end. I am thinking about hanging up the political hat and moving to Canada where my vote might actually count. Bah humbug to the two-party system. I have always voted, but I think I am going to quit.

I should take my kids too. Because, your daughter and my kids are the future. Right? There are so many things I care about. Maybe it is time to start caring on a different level with more educated research on my part. :) You are right Tara. I should take my kids too. Because, your daughter and my kids are the future.

A very cool milestone and I was moved that she shared it with me.

I think the problem is that kids aren't taught the importance. I am always bitching about politics (my hubby & I love to), but always make it clear to our son that as an adult, US Citizen, you can only complain when you've used your voice through the democratic process.

No one wants to make a mistake when deciding who will run our country for the next four years. Even if you think you picked the right man (or woman), you never know for sure. You can only make your best educated guess and then follow up at the state and local level. It's a matter of checks and balances. ohmommy – I could never hate YOU.

So. I am that problem. I have never voted. Registered, I am. Scared and intimated, I am too. Why? Because it is all so confusing to me - I don;t really understand 1/2 the things they are discussing. This comes from someone with a Masters degree. I am scared. Your last statement has almost convinced me too vote this year. Almost. I am still a little nervous. Hate me? Okay. So. I am that problem.
