Money is evil, violence begets violence, and all that other new-age feel-good mantras. :) posted by: GreyKat (reply) post date: 08.03.04 (8:09 am) amen to that. posted by: SaraJones (reply) post date: 08.04.04 (6:29 am) Subject-Line: You Have The Power To Save Democracy...Here's Your Chance To Use It! Dear Sir/Madam It’s the dawn of electing a new President for our country and it’s time for us to arise and exercise our power to VOTE and save our world acclaimed democracy from the clutches of idiosyncrasies. As Quoted by Daniel Webster, at a public reception held on October 5, 1840, Virginia... “Impress upon children the truth that the exercise of the elective franchise is a social duty of as solemn a nature as man can be called to perform; that a man may not innocently trifle with his VOTE; that every elector is a trustee as well for others as himself and that every measure he supports has an important bearing on the interests of others as well as on his own.” And in this new age, our present generation seems to be a disengaged lot when it comes to politics, civic participation, elections and voting. According to a nationwide survey conducted for the Leon and Sylvia Panetta Institute, a public-policy think tank at the California State University, the finding was “Most college students doubted that voting in Presidential Elections will make any major changes in American society.” The survey also found that only 19% of American college students believe that politics is “very relevant” to their lives, and 43% believe that politics has little or no relevance. Leon Panetta, the Institute’s Director and Former Chief of Staff to President Clinton notes, “Somehow the message isn’t getting through. Despite pressing issues such as the economy and the war in Iraq, students often are turned off by politics. Obviously, candidates, educators and all the rest of us need to do a better job of promoting political and civic involvement, if we hope to restore trust in our democracy.” says Panetta Maybe the new generation feels that when it comes to politics and elections, all the political candidates are the same, so what’s the point in voting? Here, we need to understand about some of our constitutional, civic and basic rights. Remember that the winning President-Elect may have an enormous impact on our children’s future not just for 4 years but for the next 40 years. How? These points may help us realize the fundamental privilege of voting: § When a new President is elected there is a chance that US Supreme Court Justice will retire § The President alone has the power to nominate a new Justice, and Supreme Court Justices hold office for life § While the Congress and the President may pass laws and veto bills, ultimately it is the Supreme Court that interprets the Constitution and consequently determines how each American will live his and her LIFE For once let us be true unto ourselves and allow our conscience to rule and reflect… What if the next time we neglect to VOTE, how would we feel if we didn’t have the choice to elect a president, choose a job, or decide how many children to have? Out in the world there are many countries where an individual doesn’t have choices nor the privileges …and it would be quite obvious if they shift places with us for the FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT TO VOTE! Together let’s restore trust and bring back to life our “Glorious Democracy”! Together Let’s VOTE!

Even if everyone votes what good is it if the only choices are between tweedledumb and tweedledumber? We need the populace to vote AND for them to vote for a decent third party candidate, and there's the rub. Can't think of any decent third party candidates... posted by: DragonBait22 (reply) post date: 08.06.04 (2:21 pm) Reply to: littlemrmahatma How about Michael Badnarik? :) posted by: Kellie (reply) post date: 10.26.04 (5:22 pm) Bush has absolutly NOTHING to do with the economy... its the people of Americas fault if its doing good or bad.
