VOTE OR DIE 

This was the slogan MTV used a few years back to try to get young people to vote. Most found it a "bit" dramatic and it was only mildly successful. Voter participation among young people did not increase dramatically. Be that as it may, they were trying to make a good point: the importance of THE VOTE cannot be over emphasized! And, it is not so just for young people but for ALL.

Voter participation in this Country is abysmal. If people spent half the time on voting that they do complaining about the process and the government, we might actually accomplish something. It seems that too many are content to sit in front of their TV's and listen to pundits tell them everything that's wrong here instead of informing them of the information that they need to try and set things right. And, to do so it means one thing - VOTE.

So, get off your lazy asses. There is NO excuse. Remember, in the contract between the people and the government, WE have the power - unless you concede it by NOT SHOWING UP. Like a traditional marriage ceremony, the time to speak up is now. Or, forever hold your peace!!
