Please don't ever think that. It is one of the privledges of living in the USA to have the right to vote. Please don't EVER take it for granted. No matter who you vote for, just be honored that you are in a country that gives you that right.

If you remember the 2000 election, it was so close that a recount was needed in Florida. Every vote counts.

Plus, if you are a woman, think about all the countries in this world where women are not even allowed to drive cars or other things taken for granted in this country.

WHEN you vote, if your candidate wins or loses, just hold your head up high and remember that YOU had a voice, and always do.

I hope you do decide to vote your heart and hold on to this privledge and honor for every election you participate in.

God Bless America!!!!!

Every vote matter's, just vote who you think will get the job done. You have to watch the debates to see what they stand for.

I can't vote yet. I have two more years until I can... And when I AM old enough I'm not sure that I will even vote.... But I guess it depends on who's running.... But thats not going to for another four years or something.

No pressure, just vote! However, be aware that during the elections this November, you will NOT be voting for a President. Instead, you will be voting for an electorate, who will be casting the actual vote for a presidential candidate.

It's also important for you to realise that your votes that REALLY make a difference, throughout the country and in your local community, are the votes you cast for your government representatives and other ballot issues that directly affect important things, like how much you will pay in taxes and whether or not the government should put a limitation upon who may be allowed to marry, etc. Your votes on these and other issues are far more important than any vote for the next President.

Your vote does matter. Our system is based on the people. You are the people. The President works for the people.

Now I know politics enters in her and politicians have change the system to their advantage. But you need to remember you represent the Country and the direction you believe it should move in.

Study their words and their actions, past and present.

Vote your conscience, vote for whom you believe to be the best candidate. Vote for whom you believe will be the best leader for the nation.

Always vote.
