Top Ten Lame Excuses
Not To Vote
by bobby jennings
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 a 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.
