The first less is this: take it from me, every vote counts.
I believe in Liberty for all men: the space to stretch their arms and their souls, the right to breathe and the right to vote, the freedom to choose their friends, enjoy the sunshine, and ride on the railroads, uncursed by color; thinking, dreaming, working as they will in a kingdom of beauty and love.
I read an article that said one in five Americans thinks Elvis is alive. I want to find those morons and get them registered to vote for me.
It doesn’t matter who you vote for. It’s still the same billionaires that run the world.
I would vote to increase the debt limit if there was a corresponding level of cuts. And if there was some serious talk about a balanced budget amendment, which we as governors always had to deal with.
The Jewish people remember the dramatic vote in the U.N. Assembly on November 29, 1947, when representatives of the nations recognized our right to national revival in our historic homeland.
All too often the Democratic Party has taken the black vote for granted, and all too often the Republican Party has written it off.
Tell everyone to vote: Tom Savini for Governor on ‘The Walking Dead’!
Every citizen’s vote should count in America, not just the votes of partisan insiders in the Electoral College.
What is politics but persuading the public to vote for this and support that and endure these for the promise of those?
I think it’s inconsistent to tell the American people that you oppose the war and, yet, you continue to vote to fund the war. Because every time you vote to fund the war, you’re reauthorizing the war all over again.
I have never had a vote, and I have raised hell all over this country. You don’t need a vote to raise hell! You need convictions and a voice!
Sensible and responsible women do not want to vote. The relative positions to be assumed by man and woman in the working out of our civilization were assigned long ago by a higher intelligence than ours.
If you had the opportunity to cast your vote for speaker, would you vote for Nancy Pelosi?
I had concluded when I was the prosecutor that I would vote against the death penalty if I were in the legislature but that I could ask for it when I was satisfied as to guilt.
My ideal registration system would be an opt-out one, where every single person is registered once they turn 18. In Australia, I’m told, everyone is registered to vote and you pay a fine if you don’t vote.
If power lies more and more in the hands of corporations rather than governments, the most effective way to be political is not to cast one’s vote at the ballot box, but to do so at the supermarket or at a shareholders’ meeting. When provoked, corporations respond.
I just read that 81 percent of Americans are ready to vote for a woman. So it sounds like America is ready.
The job of elected leaders is to deliver results that represent the interests of the citizens who placed them in a position of authority with their voice, their vote. But these days, money talks louder.
Donald Trump has defined himself very well, not only in the primary election where he was absolutely disrespectful to his colleagues on the Republican side of the aisle and for Fiorina, who he basically said, ‘Who would vote for you? Look at her face.’
House Republican leadership have refused to allow a clean minimum wage vote. Close to 15 million Americans will be affected if we did this. Do Republicans really expect a family to live on less than $11,000 a year?
I am such a strong admirer and supporter of George W. Bush that if he suggested eliminating the income tax or doubling it, I would vote yes on first blush.
I don’t want to come to Washington to be just another vote. I want to lead on issues that are important.
Here’s why I cannot vote for Rudy Giuliani. He’s pro-abortion. He’s never repudiated gay marriage in New York City or at least the civil unions in New York City. He’s called a champion of gay rights. Rudy is opposed to school choice. He’s in favor of open borders.
The irony is that the people we tend to vote for actually look down on voters and voting. That’s just idiotic, right? That’s like a snake eating its own tail! A wolf in a trap gnawing off its own head to escape!
When too many Americans don’t vote or participate, some see apathy and despair. I see disappointment and even outrage. And I believe that out of this frustration can come hope and action.
Vote Smart has sent out thirty thousand questionnaires to every candidate running for office.
Hell, I never vote for anybody, I always vote against.
I voted against this Indian bill, and my conscience yet tells me that I gave a good, honest vote, and one that I believe will not make me ashamed in the day of judgment.
I would vote for the man who’s lived life, who’s done different occupations, who’s been out in the real world and struggled to make a living, struggled to raise a family, struggled with life as it exists. So I’d vote for experience, honest experience.
I’m not saying I shouldn’t have to pay any taxes, but I shouldn’t have to pay as many as somebody that votes. I don’t vote because I don’t know anything about politics. And honestly, I can’t believe they’d let me. Isn’t that an important thing? They’ll just let me pick the president! I don’t gotta know anything!
I would like to thank my colleagues for voting a Social Democrat prime minister and to assure them I will vote a liberal president, as well.
Having yet another vote on refinery legislation that uses high oil prices as an excuse to weaken environmental protections and to give more legislative gifts to the oil industry is misguided in the extreme.
I can’t tell anyone to vote.
The basic idea behind a paper trail is that you take one of these electronic systems and you augment it with a printer that prints out people’s vote as they vote.
I don’t think anyone went the polls and said, ‘I am casting my vote to make sure that Wall Street has better chances to make bigger profits off the backs of the American people.’
People don’t like to vote against something that’s so incredibly popular.
Perhaps we’ll realize that each of us has not one vote but ten thousand or a million.
We women of America tell you that America is not a democracy. Twenty million women are denied the right to vote.
People who own property feel a sense of ownership in their future and their society. They study, save, work, strive and vote. And people trapped in a culture of tenancy do not.
And, as you recall, last year, people were asking us, don’t vote on the bill until you read every part of the bill. So, as a good attorney and as a good legislator, I think it’s my responsibility to read the amendments.
I’ve always believed in the old-fashioned way: When you’ve got scoundrels in office, you vote ’em out.
You’re not going to get a chance to vote for me on the ballot, but you can actually vote for what I believe in.
If Algeria introduced a resolution declaring that the earth was flat and that Israel had flattened it, it would pass by a vote of 164 to 13 with 26 abstentions.
I believe that everyone should be treated as an individual. Women should be treated equally in the right to vote, sure. But if I’m paying to see a comedy, then I just want to see who’s funniest, with everyone treated equally.
I want to stand by my country, but I cannot vote for war.
Giving every man a vote has no more made men wise and free than Christianity has made them good.
We think about democracy, and that’s the word that Americans love to use, ‘democracy,’ and that’s how we characterize our system. But if democracy just means going to vote, it’s pretty meaningless. Russia has democracy in that sense. Most authoritarian regimes have democracy in that sense.
It is hard to imagine an area in which Congress has more express constitutional authority to act than in protecting the right of minorities to vote.
I swore on screen when I got the Olivier for ‘Legally Blonde,’ I was so surprised. Awards where the public vote mean a lot. I’m a big Twitter fan and like talking to people who support me.
When you have incidences like the Trayvon Martin verdict, the erosion of certain fundamental rights like voting, it just reminds us that we’re always one Supreme Court justice vote away from losing the progress that has been made.
So for us any gain we had in election, one vote that we got, was a win.
When you vote, vote for those who are not warmongers, and vote for those who respect human rights. When you see a president who doesn’t respect human rights, don’t vote for that person.
I can’t vote again ever, so political party is not a relevant thing for me.
Where Negroes provide 20 percent of the vote, they should have 20 per cent of the jobs.
Television is the most perfect democracy. You sit there with your remote control and vote.
I mean, what are they scared of? Who’s going to vote for anyone from the Communist Party, for God’s sake?
Voting is a Constitutional right. Absent any evidence of fraud, all Americans have a protected right to vote, be they rich or poor, black, Hispanic or white, people who live in a big city or in remote rural areas.
I tell people I won’t vote to go to war unless I’m ready to go or send my kids.
When you talk about evangelicals, don’t forget that a significant proportion of the evangelical community is African American. And most African Americans – well over 90 percent, thoroughly evangelical, thoroughly biblical – will probably vote Democratic.
