I'm especially interested in those between the ages of 21-30. If you haven't yet voted (weren't old enough before) do you plan to vote in the next election?

I specifically ask about 21-30 yr olds because I find a lot of them feel that there is no reason to vote, and that the vote doesn't matter.

I am past the 21-30 criteria, but I have been voting since I was 18.

Though I am not 21-30, I am a high school social studies teacher who knows exactly why you are asking this question.
Many of America's youth feel disenfranchised, though why, I do not know. They don't stand for the national anthem, they think that the government is out to get them or against them in some way, and they think that their vote doesn't count.
I encourage the youth of America to become involved in civic affairs. They do have a voice and their vote does count! They can only improve our nation if they become active participants in civic affairs.

Im 40yo, even though I have it on educated authority that my vote or anyones for that matter, does not elect our officials, I still get out and vote, have a break from work and compare reality to fiction the following day. And I keep my voters ID up to date. It is a good govt. ID. American citizens have not had any influence whatsoever since the gold and silver standard was abolished in34? 1935 ish. When the Fed. was incorporated and we went to SSN as a citizenry ID /uniform Nomenclature Instead of our bi-nomial family names. Its all a part of Uniform commercial code(UCC) and Passive Evolutionary Law. You can read all about it in their law in the library of congress, or read my book reaching bookstands January '07. It is a follow-up to Thoreau's Civil Disobedience and theories of govt. involvement in the private sector. The title.. "Equality... Not Equity" DeanPeter, DeanCpoetry

I'm 35. I vote. I believe younger people have more reason to vote. You have to live with the results longer.

Of course, every election.
And the biggest complainers are the "ones" who didn't vote
because of their ideas. If you voted, you have the right to an
opinion, otherwise, keep quiet.

Yes, always. If you are eligible and don't, you should be ashamed, and have no right to complain about the way things are. Churchill once said "People get the government they deserve".

Sure I vote. That way, I can legitimately gripe about what is going on. If you do not vote, shut your mouth, you could have done something about it.
