Of course it means something. It means that our founding fathers who lived and died for our freedom created a country where we actually have a voice. Those serving our country today continue to make sure we remain a democracy where we all count. Voting is a right and privilege but it is a huge responsibility that if everyone in this country would take seriously people would see what a difference we can make and they would stop their whining.
I vote in EVERY election in my community from President to School Board and I take my kids with me to instill in them the responsibility we have as Americans. It's a great lesson in remembering those who founded our country and those who continue today to stand up for the U.S.A.

Yes it does. At least I think it does. I believe that it is our right and our duty as Americans to vote when the time comes.
I have 3 children and one has never voted. She is always complaining about the state of things. When I ask her if she voted and she says no, then I tell her I don't want to hear her opinion.
If you are old enough to vote and choose not to, then how can you complain about the government if you did not exercise your right to choose the government. And no, the candidate that you voted for may not win but at least you went out and put in your 2 cents worth.

Yes...the only votes that are obscure is the Presidential vote because it goes to the electoral college.

No way. Or do you think the world has become better over the years of changing politicians, political parties, etc. for the last decades? Politicians only spend so much money on their campaigns to have more power and more money. That's what it's all about.

Most assuredly. Despite all the crap out there about the electoral system, every vote DOES count. In America at least.

Imagine if there were two presidential candidates tied, and your vote would break that tie. Do you think it matters? EVERYONES vote matters, or else we wouldn't rely on it to pick our elected officials.

If you've got Diebold furnishing the computerized voting machines, NO.

Absolutely they do. If they didn't, why would the politician spend so much money trying to get our attention, if it was a foregone conclusion?
