"'The vote' is a human right. It is seen as an American right. In a democracy there is nothing more fundamental than having the right to vote." --Jesse Jackson, Jr.
"Those who stay away from the election think that one vote will do no good: 'Tis but one step more to think one vote will do no harm." --Ralph Waldo Emerson
"People often say that, in a democracy, decisions are made by a majority of the people. Of course, that is not true. Decisions are made by a majority of those who make themselves heard and who vote--a very different thing." --Walter H. Judd
"Bad politicians are sent to Washington by good people who don't vote." --William E. Simon
"To make democracy work, we must be a nation of participants, not simply observers. One who does not vote has no right to complain." --Louis L'Amour
I'm not going to add any commentary other than this: Go vote!!!! Like L'Amour said, if you don't vote, don't bitch (okay, so I'm paraphrasing with my own touch).
