Blogger’s Choice Awards - Vote 4 ME!



Friday 20th July 2007 - 9:36:31 PM

Someone told me I was the bomb today. And you know what, she was right.

I mean, how else can you explain my FOUR nominations for Blogger’s Choice Awards?

And the nominations are…

You know you love me, so CLICK HERE AND VOTE NOW!!

It is my firm opinion that if someone does not vote, they have no right to complain.

I vote, therefore I complain. Hey, I want a bumper sticker that says that!

If you’re not registered to vote, you should be.

Top Ten Reasons NOT to Vote [all are unacceptable excuses, by the way]:
10. My dog ate my registration card.
9. Reruns of the Simpsons are on TV.
8. Martin Sheen of “West Wing” is not running. (Well, maybe that should be a good reason…)
7. I forgot to register to vote.
6. I have a right not to vote. You can’t make me.
5. I don’t know who is running.
4. I don’t have a ride.
3. I am too busy.
2. All politicians are corrupt.
1. My vote won’t make a difference. (They may not even count it.)

Top Ten Reasons TO Vote:
10. You might meet the man/woman of your dreams in the line to vote.
9. Use it as a reason to leave work early.
8. Voting costs money and you are paying for it. If you don’t vote your money will be wasted.
7. Avoid feeling guilty if the “other guy” wins.
6. Be a contrary. Many special interest groups would prefer you did not vote. Upset their plans.
5. Many people have spent a lot of money to buy your vote. Disappoint them by voting your conscience.
4. Make homage to our ancestors. Many have died and suffered to gain the right to vote.
3. If enough people vote the “right choice” will be made.
2. Civil participation “breaks the back” of violent confrontation, disruptive behavior, and corruption.
1. You will feel personally empowered.
