Sorry, I WILL NOT be voting for Kerry in November.
I'm only 17.

I'll voulnteer and do everything I can, but I cannot vote. It breaks my heart that I will not be able to say that I cast my first vote ever against this terrible man. Please do everything you can to ensure Shrub is defeated.

I'd consider it a personal favor!

:toast: :toast: :toast:

1. Why not?
Vote early, vote often. Who says 17 year olds can't vote? You can if you're creative.

3. If you work to get rid of Bush in any way
I would consider that a vote against the man. Lord knows that this battle will not be won without the help of many volunteers.

5. I'm sorry
That's too bad, and I can understand you. I'll be old enough (this'll be my first vote ever), but a few weeks ago someone was confusing me and said that if I wasn't old enough to vote in the primary then I couldn't vote later that year. I felt so terrible... but you really shouldn't let this keep you up at night, really.

6. Then make it a goal to get one person that either wouldn't vote
Edited on Tue Mar-16-04 05:54 PM by FoeOfBush
or would vote other than for Kerry to VOTE KERRY! Live vicariously through a proxy voter!!

And you will be overwhelmed with pride during your first time. I still remember going to vote at the local firehouse with my parents. It felt like, VICTORY!!

edit for spelling (error)

7. Damn It, I was lookin for a flame war
But, my efforts will go to ridding us of this dumb asshole.

HOWEVER, there may be a time when I will require a favor of YOU. I am sure you will be ready to provide such a service to your Godfather..........

8. I do sympathize.
I was 18 in 1968, but we had to be 21!!! In that year, above all, with the war, and the threat of Nixon winning, and we couldn't vote!!

Are other 17 year olds that you know as energized as you are??

Congratulations for your excllent attitude!!
