Yes.
So, with all the excitment over the Iraqi election and the proudly held purple finger......
How many of you will have a "purple finger" tomorrow? Are you planning on voting?
Yes.
Is this a trick question?
Well, unless Mississippi is having an election, you don't count.
However, no it's not a trick question, I was just wondering how many people in here were planning on voting in tomorrows election. Actually, to be honest, I wonder how many people in here were even aware of the election tomorrow.
There are some fairly important issues. The ACCD bond issue is up, as is the slot for district 121 in the state legislature.
So, it was a trick question.
I don't live in the City, but I do vote in at least every major election.
It's not a city election, and how the do you define "major"? There are some pretty big issues up for this one.
The ACCD bond issue is pretty large, and if you live in district 121, you're voting for your state rep.
I only vote when I'm paid to.
OK, Manny, I don't even live in the county, nor do I live in 121.
By major, I mean the even numbered year November elections for House, Senate, and Prez. There are, of course, other issues and candidates on those ballots.
You know, I'm on the record on giving Duff for not voting, so I think I should apply that equally.
A lot of major legislation comes as the result of elections not held at those times. And it's a sad fact that many people choose to simply ignore these elections.
There are plenty of people in here that love to complain about city council and the like, but usually ignore city/county elections. It's one thing to gripe about the things that go on that you disagree with, but it's another thing when people and moan and don't even go vote.
I can't vote in the 121 race, but it's probably going to be taken by a republican. Those parts of the county aren't exactly democrat friendly.
I do plan on voting against the accd bond package.
I plan on voting for enviromentalists for Bexar Met and SARA, and these positions have more value than people realize.
Anyhow, I'm very intersted in seeing how many people in this forum actually vote in the election tomorrow/later today.
I already voted. I don't have a purple finger but I came home with some beer and chips.
OK, Manny you convinced me. There is no election in my city today, but just because of your insistance, I will drive on down there, sneek a peek at the voter role, and forge someone's signature so that I can vote today.
I think Manny's point is that many cheered with the Iraq vote was a success yet many of here at home are too lazy to get off our fat asses to vote yet we can sit on our fat asses and .
senators who rarely even show up to vote on important bills can also dip their fingers in ink for the appropriate photo op.
Already done, we actually voted early.
, I wasn't just talking to you.OK, Manny you convinced me. There is no election in my city today, but just because of your insistance, I will drive on down there, sneek a peek at the voter role, and forge someone's signature so that I can vote today.
But you may want to consider voting in not so "major" elections when they come up if you plan on ing as much.
Apparently I am capable of making a point, thanks.
Awesome, it's good to see some people put their money where their mouth is.
, that was in direct response to my previous post. I'm supposed to know when you switch to the public voice within a post? Face it, Manny: if Duff is apathy personified, you're nagging personified. You'll make a great mother, someday.You know, I'm on the record on giving Duff for not voting, so I think I should apply that equally.

blah blah blah
Ok er, if you want to take things so literaly, tell me where in that post I told you to go out and vote TODAY?
And if you want to make things so personal, I'd be careful of the stones you throw living in a glass house.
Actually, upon rereading the post, I don't see where I directed it to you at all.
Uh, back on topic.
Just voted.
I sure hope that was a new role sheet I signed, but there were only three more sigs ahead of me in my district's log.
I doubt it was. I went earlier today in the afternoon, I was only the tenth person to have voted.
Well excuse me. I get the point.
I wish more people would.
