VOTE!

That is an imperative statement.  I can't stand it when people say "my vote doesn't count, so I'm not going to vote."  If you say something like that, you don't deserve to vote.  No matter where you live -- even if you're a liberal living in the Deep South or a right-wing nut job living in California -- your vote always counts.  Perhaps you don't know this, but the presidential election is not the only thing you vote for when you go to the polls.  You have local, county, state, and federal elections, not to mention referendums and state constitutional amendments.  If you don't vote, you have no right to complain.  You've been given the gift of democracy, and you should take advantage of that gift every chance you get.  So, get out there and vote tomorrow, or shut your trap for the next four years.
