Damn right I will. I'm voting for Hillary if she really decides to run because she is the best suited out of the whole bunch.

I will vote in the next election, & every one after that as long as the good lord still allows me to walk this earth. Voting is a privilege we are afforded by our democracy, & not exercising that vote is a slap in the face to every man & woman who have given their lives/careers defending this great nation, or otherwise helping to shape her into the best nation on earth!
Do we have problems/issues confronting us? You bet ! Will they be challenging & require some sacrifice to resolve? Absolutely !
But not voting won't help in any way....in effect I would be saying "I give up"
There have been many elections at all levels of government where a well qualified candidate lost by one or two (maybe 10 or 15) votes. I was involved w an election where a good friend lost reelection to city council by 3 votes. Wow, we all thought....if only we had talked to one more family, knocked on one more door, made one more phone call.....
One vote does make a difference

Yes, I will be voting next election, and every election. If you don't vote, you are not part of the process, and don't have ANY chance of making things the way you want them to be. And if you don't vote, and things don't work out the way you think they should, remember, do not complain to me. You had your chance to vote.

I've never missed voting in an election and I'm not about to start now. I'll make up my mind who I'm voting for when I see who the candidates are.

No matter what happens in politics I always vote and I will for as long as I can. Why? Because I want to be involved in my country and it is a privilege I am honored to carry out.

I won't be voting in 2008 for the same reason I didn't vote last year or in 2004. Because I have had it up to *here* with judicial activism. All judicial activism is disgusting and repulsive to me. No matter who is benefitting from it, it is always repulsive. By way of examples of activism I refer to Roe v. Wade, Lawrence v. Texas, and Bush v. Gore.

I will vote, I will encourage others to vote, I will teach people to register, I will tell them about rules for voting, because the more of us who vote the better chance we have to get our country back.

I will always vote. Too many people are already apathetic. That's the biggest problem with this country. How can we have a government of the people if most people don't participate?

I will vote, I am not sure if the vote will be counted. Republicans are doing everything in their power to make sure our votes are not cast and if they are they will try very hard to not count them.
All elections are about Money and power, they no longer seem to be about the person running.
