VOTE!!!! I probably shouldn't have to post this,
but the occasional reminder is never really out of place. Unless you voted early...

Remember people, this our nation, in the most important election in our history...PLEASE!!!! DON'T FORGET TO GET TO THE POLLS, AND TAKE OTHERS WITH YOU IF YOU CAN!

I am amazed how many people I go to class with think this is in the bag for Obama, and they are thinking about staying away from the polls. NOT a good idea.

And, FWIW, if you see anything out of the ordinary, make sure the poll workers attend to it immediately.

I've worked in polling places, it is a headache, the hours are terrible, and these people have to put up with more than they should. Make their day a good one, keep a smile on your face, be polite and above all...VOTE.

Let's kill off the neo-con GOP once and for all!

2. Excellent!!!
:woohoo:


I really find it strange to hear good D's up at the college talking about sitting this one out...
Very odd, and if that type of notion takes hold...x(

It ain't over until the votes are in and counted...no time to take this for granted!

3. tell those students that Obama HAS NOT FREAKING WON
YET.. AND THAT FOR HIM TO WIN THEY MUST VOTE..what's wrong with the youth? they get all raddle up and then don't show up?? waht the fuck? Obama is COUNTING ON THEIR VOTE!!!

You MUST TELL THEM THIS.. Don't let them get away with this sentiment.. You must pressure and drag them to the poll if you have to...

That's what i have done with the young people i work with.. I already took care of my family, but my co-workers. the ones that are young and lazy, or just that they are too busy because they are going clubbing. .. those I dragged them myself to the polling places...

Yeah, they all think i am crazy and they look at me weird, but so what??!! I dont care what they think all iknow is that i got them to the polls and they voted.

They voted for Obama because he is the candidate they liked, but for some reason were lazy to take themselves to the polls - which i recognized that and did this for them...

11. Stood in line for 4 hours but I early voted (Chicago) and it feels great!
The line wrapped around the block but drivers cheered us all on by screaming 'Obama!' as they drove by.

16. Been there, done that!
Took off an hour early yesterday to get back into Newton in time to vote early.

I was going to wait until Election Day, but I just couldn't stand waiting.
