Register to Vote HERE: hawaii.gov/elections/voters/registration.htm My mother is an official for a town nearby, and this past week was a voting week on what are called Warrant Articles, which is New Hampshire-ese for ballot initiatives and budget proposals. The town she works for has a small but very vocal and very active contingent of Free Staters who believe in conspiracy theories like the UN is seeking to take over the town by way of Agenda 21. They show up at every town meeting, and always always always always vote. ...and they win, more often than not, because the people with their heads screwed on right dont bother to summon the energy to raise their hand once a year. The Agenda 21 people are a small segment of the populace, but they always show up. ..when I hear people say voting does not matter, does not make a difference, it makes me want to tear my teeth out. Math: the coocoobirds who think dinosaurs dont exist because they arent mentioned in the Bible comprise, give or take, about 12% of the voting population in America. They are a small minority within a minority party. When only 50% of the voting population shows up to vote in a presidential election year, that 12% doubles to 25%, because those 12%-ers go to the polls even if it is raining live jaguars outside...which means any right-wing candidate who says the right things about Jesus, fetuses and guns is halfway to the 50.1% needed for victory before they put their pants on come election day... So dont dont dont dont just dont you dare tell me that voting doesnt matter. That is a heaping crock of lazy crap.... If you dont like your choices, its because you didnt make a choice in the last election, and the one before, and the one before. Nature, and politics, abhor a vacuum. If you dont like what has filled it, non-voter, find a mirror and stare into the eyes of the reason why. If you dont vote, you are responsible for this.
