I have this to say to the people: go the polls and vote for the candidate of your choice… This is your responsibility; do not neglect it.
I vote Labour and can’t begin to acknowledge anything good that comes from a Tory.
I mean Facebook is no longer a company, it’s a country. 2 billion users. It can influence what we think, what we believe, how we vote, what we buy, even how we feel.
The right to vote is one of our nation’s most important civil rights.
I’m entitled to my political opinions, and I get to vote because I’m an American.
To my wife, I’m not Herbie Hancock the musician. I’m her husband. When I’m talking to a neighbor, I’m a neighbor. When I vote, I’m a citizen.
For some reason, voters can be brainwashed, and they vote sometimes against their own best interests, let alone voting against the interests of people who need them, like people who are disenfranchised and people who are poor and so forth.
The one sure way of participating in the process of nation-building is to vote on the election day.
I will develop the areas that vote for me, but if you don’t vote for me, don’t expect anything.
Bad politicians are sent to Washington by good people who don’t vote.
People didn’t vote left or right in the election. They voted for putting an end to all the primitive political history.
I have absolutely no regret about my vote against this war. The same questions remain. The cost in human lives, the cost to our budget, probably 100 billion. We could have probably brought down that statue for a lot less.
I, for one, am quite willing to join the ‘forgive, forget and move on’ crowd, but it does make me wonder if Evangelicals are going to sound believable when they say that they tend to vote Republican because of their religious commitments to the family.
Girl Scouts is such an iconic organization that it’s easy to overlook how daring an idea it was for founder Juliette Gordon Low to gather those first 18 girls in that troop in Savannah, Georgia. It was 1912, after all, and women wouldn’t earn the right to vote for another eight years.
I want to have a good vote in the Senate so we send the message that the Republicans and the Democrats are together in favor of immigration reform.
It’s interesting when you read the debates in parliaments between MPs about whether they should give women a vote. It’s a lot of fear; it is fear of change. It’s fear if women get to vote, family structures will break down. Women will stop having children. Women won’t vote for war.
Twenty years of votes can tell you much more about a man than twenty weeks of campaign rhetoric. Campaign talk tells people who you want them to think you are. How you vote tells people who you really are deep inside.
Everybody in America has been dependent on the government at some time. We owe everybody in America the right to vote and access to capital. What I say is, let’s make America work, let’s make democracy and free enterprise work for everybody.
The rich don’t win elections. They support the money, but what percentage of America are rich? What is it, 2 percent? But they all have one vote.
If you know a lot about something and apply that information to a vote that matches your policy preferences, your opinion quality is high.
Side note, I was Prom Prince. My friend and I campaigned to be Prom King and Queen, and we got the rest of the non-popular people in the school to vote for us. We didn’t win, but we got Prince and Princess.
I would not vote for the mayor. It’s not just because he didn’t invite me to dinner, but because on my way into town from the airport there were such enormous potholes.
In the summer of 1966, I went to Mississippi to be in the heart of the civil-rights movement, helping people who had been thrown off the farms or taken off the welfare roles for registering to vote. While working there, I met the civil-rights lawyer I later married – we became an interracial couple.
You cannot say we are a healthy, dynamic democracy when one party wins almost two-thirds of the vote.
Vote for the man who promises least; he’ll be the least disappointing.
