If you won't listen to me, listen to Kevin. (http://www.declareyourself.com/psas/index.htm) It doesn't matter who you support. Everybody on this board who is a US citizen and over the age of 18 (14 in Nebraska and Utah) had damn well better register and vote. We will expect confirmation. Should you not vote, you will be banned from political debate. None of this "My lack of vote is my vote" crap. There's more on every ballot than the presidency. If you can, look over the ballot and vote on as much as you can. Do research before election day. VOTE!

I plan on flying in my entire family from Iceland, Kosova, Albania, Sweden, and the other places around the world where they have escaped... and having them all vote 20 times each for Bush!

I've been taking this to my friends too. I have several friends who aren't voting. I make it a point to say that I don't care if I'm motivating Bush supporters to go out and vote, but it's absolutely important to get out there and do it. I'm registered.

Thanks for putting this up here, Danger. It's so important to spread this word.

I'm voting. Anyone who doesn't is a pussy and might as well move to France or Quebec, with the rest of em.

Chicago is the only city in the world that doesn't take away your right to vote even if you're dead.

New Jersey allows dead people to vote multiple times too.

Didn't that happen in the movie: Black Sheep? I only saw it once, and that was like.. 3 years ago. I could be wrong. With the person winning because of the dead people who voted or something?

I can't vote, even though whoever wins will affect me.

Go go immigration laws! 5 years and still no citizenship in sight!

It's very frustrating, you guys should try it!

Must suck for you Californians. Your dead can vote but you still can't have sex with them. Where's the justice?

Only vote if you're going to make an informed decision. If you're simply going to vote because you saw Farenheit 9/11 or Drew Barrymore on MTV's Choose or Lose, please do not vote. Also, start breathing through your nose.

There was a pretty funny Andy Rooney rant on 20/20 this week. He asked that everyone who neglected to vote last year not to bother voting this year. I tend to agree, especially when I see these morons covered in ductape and hairdye on TV flipping off the camera as they're going to voter registration booths at concerts. What's really disturbing is the Howard Stern vote. He keeps reiterating that because of his constant rallying he's going to have a significant impact on the vote this year. I respect Howard as a defender of free speech, but the fact that he wants to swing his audience, which has a large number of non-voters, is a tad discomforting.

Leave politics to those who give a damn, not those who need to be told to.

I don't understand why that is disconcerting. It's my experience that stupidity knows no boundaries. The moron vote is probably evenly split.

Even if people can only identify one issue that they care about (like free speech with Stern's listeners) it should be reflected in the election. I'm sure the televangelist set will be happy to offset that part of the voting population anyway.

Oh yeah, side note. Another part of the Patriot Act (http://msnbc.msn.com/id/6131670/) was found unconstitutional by a federal judge.
