Remember to find time on Tuesday to vote, if your conscience and heart tell you to. Remember, it's not your parents, your children, or anybody on the PMB that decides who you vote for. It's your decision. Whether it's Republican, Democrat, Independent, Green, etc. Whether it's only for the presidential, congressional, or both, or any combination of it. And it's not up to you to decide who other people vote for. If you decide not to vote, then that's a valid decision. Voting is not an obligation! Being able to vote is a great thing about our country, but it is not mandatory for everybody above 18. I urge everybody to consider not just the foreign policies, but probably more importantly the domestic policies. The Iraq war is important, as is Afghanistan, N. Korea, Iran, other places. But the U.S. is our homeland, where we live. Let's not get so tangled up in foreign problems and issues that we forget the state of our home. It's nice and warm-hearted to care about "neighbor countries" (on a global scale), but if we care too much about other countries, our own country will decline. Whether or not you vote, make sure that it is what your own conscience and heart is telling you to do. Not your neighbor, brother, wife, husband, friend, parent, TMB posters, etc. Anxiously awaiting my first participation in a presidential election, andy

Agreed Andy. I've been pleading for Kerry, but do realise that in the end Americans will have to vote for what reflects their own personal values. So, my dear Americans, HAPPY VOTING tomorrow! I will be thinking of you. In fact, the whole world will be watching you. This is so exciting!

Screw that!
I'm going to vote for the person who has a chance at winning and who's going to protect my family from people that want us dead...

YIPPEE!!!! My kids even got in on the voting process -- not a lot of sleep last night, but a lot of excitement . . .
Exactly.
