Thirteen Reasons

MON-MON

Thinks We All

Should Vote

13. You might end up in the papers/news if voting turns out as ugly as it did last year in Colorado (think long lines people).
12. It’s fun to fill in the bubbles with your #2 pencil.
11. It gives you a legitimate reason to gripe if your candidate doesn’t win and the country gets worse.
10. Think of all the people you will meet while standing in line waiting your turn.
9. If you are a Democrat, you will piss of the Republicans… if you are a Republican, you will piss off the Democrats. If you’re independent, then you get to choose who you piss off.
8. A lot of people you never met died to give you the right to vote.
7. It gives you a legitimate reason to miss work/school/family breakfast or dinner if you vote in person.
6. Not voting because you don’t like your choices makes you whiny and spoiled.
5. Not voting is still making a choice – so really, you are still playing the politcal game just in a really bad way.
4. If you don’t vote, your friends and family will probably give you a hard time. (that might be an incentive not to vote for some of you)
3. It will piss off a lot of dictators in other countries who want the USA to fail and probably believe people not voting because they’ve lost confidence in the country’s leaders is proof the USA will fail.
2. Your vote does matter – unless it’s a really, really close vote then it doesn’t (think Florida people).
1. We need some change, people. Let’s make it happen.
