Since I am one of those that fought for the right of 18 year olds to have the right to vote, I too have voted in every Federal, State and Local election we have had in the last 33 years.
I feel it is my duty to do so, and it pisses me off when I see the low percentages of Americans that do show up to vote . . . however, I realize that by their not showing up, my vote becomes that much stronger. So please, either everyone vote, or no one vote, and just leave the decision process up to me.
If you guys get a 75% voter turnout, that is quite impressive indeed.
