Voter turnout in 2000 was a record low.

It's a lot easier to have a conclusive election if, you know, people elect someone.

Get out and vote, in November. I don't especially care which side of the fence you vote- but please, do vote.

  Not only do I vote, I do my best to get the teenagers worked up. Want to freak out a room full of High schoolers? Casually mention the plans to start the draft next year.
  
  Student #1: "But the election will stop that won't it?"
  Me: "Depends on what happens in the election."
  S#2: "If they touch my brother, I'll kill them."
  S#3: "What happens if we won't go?"
  Me: "They can send you to jail."
  S#3: "How long for?"
  Me: "I don't know."
  S#4: "I don't want to go to jail or Iraq."
  S#2: "If they touch my brother, I'll kill them."
  Me: "This is why voting's important. This is what all that protesting was about in the '60's. Some people fled to Canada; others signed up as conscientious objecters."
  S#4: "I'm going to Canada."
