  • Why Vote?

    The Publics or the citizen vote doesnt change the chance of who ever you voted, for they chosse who they wabt wen they want.

  • The problem with "get out the vote" drives and things like "vote or die" or "rock the vote" is that they don't really go after the root causes of why Americans don't vote as much. They don't try to convince Americans as to why they need to start voting for good people in office, and they have to stop being so pessimistic and feeling hopeless. We CAN do something about these problems if we all band together. You can't just ask people to vote who think voting's a waste and hope to change much.

  • Voters always complain that their vote doesn't matter cuz politicians are all selfish and greedy, but the fact is, if you keep voting for shit, you're gonna get shit! If you want truly great Congressman, vote for the right candidates! Don't waste your vote on the lesser of 2 evils. If everyone voted for who they truly believed in rather than the lesser of 2 evils, then the others wouldn't be a "wasted vote", like a lot of people think. Vote your conscience. Don't settle. Or run yourself.

  • Voters need to stop being so disconnected from their actions. If you vote for a crappy politician who does the worst things in office, whose fault is it?? Well, it's partly yours because you gave him that power. You couldn't be hassled, you claim, to do a little research on the person and actually find out if he's a worthy candidate, and not just another politician. You got 'fooled' into voting for crap instead of thinking hard and making the right choice. I don't make that mistake.

  • The only way the populace will get voting back on the rise in this country is if a) we have better candidates, b) the people actually start giving a shit and campaign for media reform and get involved in political orgs. and c) we look at the big picture instead of focusing on the little things. Ron Paul was the only guy who saw the big picture in the GOP debates. Everyone else had their special slogans, lies and soundbytes. I'm voting for Mike Gravel or Nader. They are truly qualified.

  • in wisconsin, when you vote you are automatically added to the available juror list and are selected for jury duty. i am sure there are many states operating in this fashion. voter turnout will always be low until this name passing is stopped

  • God you're gorgeous!

  • I think part of the problem with low voter turnout is due to the US system of voting. First, there is pre-primaries debate. Which in this election has lasted forever, and people are tired of hearing about Hillary and Obama. This election hasn't lasted months: it's lasted YEARS!

    Furthermore, I am sure that if one votes in the primaries for one's favourite candidate, and he doesn't receive the final nomination, it is easy to be disillusioned by the time the real election comes around.

  • Can we get a REAL option? ALLLLLL the Candidates SUCK. How about someone who actually had to WORK at some point in thier life. Who is going to fix Healthcare? Fix the immigrant issue? Defend us from these Terrorists? Let Technology move forward without having to battle a Lawyer at every corner? Take care of Iran BEFORE they take care of us? I can go on & on & on. We need a Candidate with a HUGE sack of balls & is ready to use them.

  • Hillary is the only candidate who wants to completly solve the healthcare problem. Clintn also has been working on immigration reform and has a plan to allow only those who are working hard to become citizens. She is the one who has announced plans to invest money in clean energy sources that will creat jobs and reduce dependence on foreign oils. She favors not using force as a first resort but instead using it only if diplomatic efforts fail. She's tested! She's ready! Let's make it happen!

  • "She favors not using force as a first resort but instead using it only if diplomatic efforts fail."

    If she does favor the use of diplomacy, then why exactly did she vote to invade Iraq "with conviction"?

  • the vote for the Iraq war was 98 in favor - 0 oppose. so it wouldn't make a difference. there was no other candidate that voted against the Iraq war.

  • not even Ron Paul ???? check your records

  • Good stuff, Jacob. You hit the nail on the head. The nomination process is definitely disfunctional, but people need to vote regardless.

    One other thing we have to do--demand fair, open and verifiable elections. It is our Constitutional right and our duty to keep elections clean. Nothing matters if we can't trust the vote count.

  • That video was perfect. Thank you.

  • Shame on all the people that bought the right-wing hit job on Obama. Fact 1.) Obama went to a Muslim school for two years that was NOT a Madrassa. He is a confrimed Christian. Fact 2.) Obama DOES stand for the pledge of allegience. These rumors were started by insidious right-wing "Swiftboat" types. They are terrorists themselves and their desire for hegemony and absolute domination is a much worse threat to our democracy than any percieved threat from overseas.

  • racist people on here are cowards that hide behind their computers.

  • OBAMA, STAND FOR CHANGE!

  • exactly!!! we must stop this radical muslim from taking over the country and executing all christians vote huckabee

  • Great vid! 5*

  • Can't wait until DENVER.

  • South Park is great ;)

  • Can't vote!

  • they came up with super tuseday bcuz thats when most of the states vote 4 the primarys dumb ass!

  • Ok number one, Obama is a christian.( you dumbass ) Secondly, where the hell did they come up with such a lame ass name called super tuesday? And super duper tuesday next week. Thats got to be the lamest thing i've ever heard. wow!!

  • I got to vote yesterday for the first time! Go Obama!

  • FUCK U FASCIST!

  • You are Wrong. There is One USA.

  • john mccain

  • Yawn. Stay in Iraq for 100 years... Brilliant. McCain is a tool.

  • McCain on the Stump, and a Different Jewish Perspective = watch this speach it means ww3 wake the f*ck up ppl iran is not iraq they have huge military and can mass 14 million troops in 48 hours how many ppl gonna die in that war? they are not angry america haters like media makes them look like.

  • vote for Romney or Obama - everyone else sucks! Its a same with Michigan & Florida.

  • Be the 1000th person to check out MARK ANTHONY GARRETT!!!! Just click above!!

  • Kucinich > Paul > Gravel > Obama >Dead Babies

  • Some are voting for Obama because it's cool, because it's idealism, because it's a perfect world, because black people have suffered enough, because it's a way for a white person to prove he/she is not racist, because he/she will be labeled educated/affluent/young.....GO­D I'M GONNA PUKE.

  • i agree

  • I was considering visitng DeclareYourself to register early, just to get it done with, but when the loud Sean Kingston song blared through my speakers I immediately closed the window. Sorry, might want to change that, or I won't be visiting.

  • the voting system is a farce and nothing keeps the candidates from doing a "180" after the election like clinton did so exemplary, with kucinich and paul you had a comfortable chance of voting against the system but the corporate media killed them off, now your only way to democracy would be going on the streets, but who really believes people care enough to do so..

  • It doesn't matter who is the next president. The problem is, the USA has bled itself dry with the $12 MILLION/hour WAR. Yes nearly 1 Trillion US Dollars already up in smoke to date. Fact is, USA isnt paying for the war anymore. ITS THE CHINESE LOAN SHARKS! TOO LATE!

    USA = BANKRUPTCY

  • Today on the news, they are showing a clip from a tape that they found, ( they probably had it for years ) about terrorists training children. They do stuff like this to drum up support for the republican candidate that is for the war in Iraq. But what scares me about them releasing the tape is that, its really early. I just hope the Bush Administration isn't plotting another fake attack on the United states to put the fear factor back into this election.

  • if you see how the bush administration walked through the gameplan of fascism im surprised that they seem to be going away this easily, i hope they dont have some last minute plan...

  • you guys are lucky that you get a choice to vote.....aussies have it compulsory

  • america do da WHOLE WORLD A FAVOUR and vote for Obama or Ron paul the others will bring more shame to ur country. eg more wars like iraq.

  • Hate.. will kill you from the inside.. People say let the past be the past, it seems like this person word559 is stuck in the past with his racist views. sad..

  • please check their positions, paul and obama are opposed in almost every point, obama is as much establishment as all the other major candidates, obama didnt mention a single of the points paul so famously nailed the republicans on, lumping them together makes no sense

  • thugdoutDUNN, I also have a green card, and I am almost sure you need to be a Citizen to be able to vote....tell me if I am wrong!!!!'Cause if I can Vote, it will be sooooo sweet, voting for Romney!!!!

  • wonder what your thoughts are on ann coulter? watching the super on cnn. rosa parks would be in awe either way!! i watched 911 on a tv in canada& i thought the world was done. Not fair. Our $ became "more than a $" and then  GW's war screwed that up for us. I got a paper with OUR dead soldiers on it & then see people like Ann Coulter bastardizing us only because we live on the same piece of earth? I would love to hear your response and trust that it will be an intelligent one.

  • wth is a super tuesday ?

  • It's the primary elections for president.

  • i got a green card but i live in canada (at the moment) HOW CAN I VOTE!? i been tryng to find out forever now! sum1 plz msg me on this

    thanx

  • the cbc was doing a thing about that yesterday on the national they called it the 51st state (canada) were there are polls there for americans living in canada... (well i wasnt paying to much attention but thats what the preview said so...)

  • shooot!

    i missed it! by the time i found out where to go i was a day late :(

  • This video was very helpful. Jacob Soberoff does a great job.

  • I think they would want to see Huckabee as president. They want a reason to quarrel with the United States. Our enemies HATE Israel, and Huckabee will be the president that will support Israel the most. War in the middle-east will always be a religious war. Which religion is right? I guess we will all find out in the end, which may be very very soon.

  • Ron Paul FTW!

  • Ron Paul

  • GO !!!!!!! HILLARY!!!!!!!

  • Hillary? You like marxism?

    O-Well I guess someone has to like it. :(

  • No OSAMA,Obama Or Chlsea's momma!

  • So, all CFR members... Hmm Globalism and socialistic oppresion. Sweet!

    Not!

  • Go Ron Paul!

  • shutup whitey

  • electronic elections is a waste of the whole thing. demand paper ballots otherwise it is clear, the elections are going to be stolen.

    RON PAUL is the only real change everybody is looking for and what the nation needs, but main stream media (run by corporates who dont want change cause it will endanger there position)dont want you to know what RON PAUL IS REALLY ALL ABOUT, and they try to give you the impression he doesnt exist.

    RON PAUL FOR PRESIDENT!!!

  • if you vote, check out "george carlin voting" on youtube!! seriouslly!!

  • Its about time somone did something like this. Keep it up. I am an American living in Europe and I want to keep up with all election info. You are making it easier for me.

  • im from BELGIUM, EUROPE's hundred times more democratic than the US is. Thats a fact. We're such a small country and EVERYBODY HAS TO VOTE!

  • great im from holland...

    (for people with an F for geography, thats next to belgium)

    i really think this is just as much (well to me)c-r-a-p as the davos question... i liked the davos question better... but i don't think any1 really listents to this....

  • Wrong. You are forced to vote in Belgium that doesn't seem to be very democratic. The US is more democratic than Belgium to be honest, but if you take the Scandinavian countries such as Denmark, Norway and Sweden then you'll see that their more democratic in some perspectives and less in other regards, but Belgium is very undemocratic in too many ways.

  • I like this clip.

    I'm from germany and I always wondered how strange the american voting-system is... Here in Germany the parties decide by themselves who is going to be their candidat.. doesn't it coast much money to organize such a pre-vote?

  • you are awesome my friend thanks for educating

  • keep up the good work

    you have a lot to do to reform "the land of the free" ...

  • I get a feeling that Ron Paul is potentially gonna win...hmmm I voted for Obama because I'm feeling funny xD....

  • does anyone like saying what? to this comment

  • what?

  • great videos, very informative - if people are still hesitating they should try the site select2008 (dot) com - no partisan and really informative too!

  • Ron Paul sux and his only supporters are a bunch of crazies with nothing to do all day but surf the net and spam posts about him on every political video you can find. You people make me sick

  • Ron Paul for president baby! My god i can't get enough of what this guy talks about.

  • Ron Paul is the only one that will save the world from America being used as the policemen of the world. Ron Paul will stop the North American Union, and Real ID card. Ron Paul is the only one with a record of following the Constitution. Voting for any of the others will end America by 2010. Oh Canada and Mexico too.

  • florida already voted?

  • youre talking too fast for me. I´m not american and I find it hard to follow.

  • can i wipe your butt?

  • ( )( ) ||

  • Why Tuesday? And why are you so dern cute? Thanks for taking the time to make these informative videos!

  • Who here is voting Ron Paul put a plus on my comment or just comment.... as for me i've been Ron Paul for FOREVER!! most deffinately gonna voe for him!! RON PAUL 08'!

  • You know you're not supposed to wish death upon a presidential candidate. You know I have to report you, right?

  • I live in California.

    Question to all:

    If I register Republican can I still vote Democrat? If I don't register, does that mean I can't vote?

    Thanks.

  • The Paper Trails show that the other then dem or gop voters outnumber the two party voters, and they still hold the electoral college tabs....

    Its Ballot Treason Tuesday....

  • RON PAUL all the friggin way!!! I'm only 14, and i want Paul to win!!! How much better can you get then him??? He's the perfect candidate. if you don't vote for him, you're insane!

  • Well damn, I dare think for my self that's why I'm going all out for my homie R. Paul..

  • Hell yeah, Ron Paul all the way, he is the only one (except- M.Gravel) who isn't bought and paid for and NOT a CFR cult member like the rest of those bastards are!

  • i say get rid of democrats & republicans & start electing 3rd party candidates. Ron Paul is the only one running that is worth a vote.

  • You do excellent work! Subscribed, 5 stars and favorite. Checking the links to add my support to restore sanity. Thank you!

  • Pick up your best canditate!

    Google " candidate quiz" and open the 2nd result (wqad). They don't require your personal information. The quiz is simple and takes just 3-5 minutes to complete it.

  • save your constitution,save your country.

    if you americans don´t vote for real change the whole world is in deep trouble.

    if you don´t vote against the national id card,you are all fucked up.

    we missed that point in europe allready,we don´t have freespeech for example anymore.

    vote dr ron paul,he is maybe your only and last chance you get.

  • Ron Paul is not the antiwar activist his supports say he is.

    His stance on the Iraq War is because of his Paleolibertarian isolationist beliefs and not because he is a man of peace.

    His claim that he "did not write those newsletters" is simply NOT acceptable.

    They show us his sympathy for the white militia movement and deeply held bigotry against blacks & gays.

    His campaign is chocked full of neo-nazis and white supremacist. He can't deny them fast enough. Everyday more are exposed.

  • True and active duty military support him heavily. Why? Because they want safe, secure military jobs. If he's "for the Constitution", why doesn't he cosponsor legislation to impeach Cheney? What about Article 1, Section 8, No. 12: The Congress shall have the power: 12. "To raise and support armies, but no appropriation of money to that use shall be for a longer term than two years;" What about that Dr. Ron Paul?

  • Hey man, thanks for interviewing Ron Paul. Great questions about paper ballots. Spread the word that Florida doesn't count as they are counted with vote flipping computers. California banned all 4 vote counting machines. Ron Paul 2nd place win might have something to do with those paper ballots. Let Americans decide in California. Make sure you compare ronpaul[DOT]meetup[DOT]com/abo­ut with mittromnay[DOT]meetup[DOT]com/­about. The other "front-runner" also has nobody supporting him

  • Huckabee has been non stop dogged by the media and he has a chance at getting the nomination and stopping this bullshit...check him out...hes not that far off...some shit is like wha...but seriously best one out of the bunch better than romney or mc cain and supports the fairtax

  • he really doesn't have a chance, with Giuliani backing McCain, and McCain's winning sprees - I think Mitt Romney is as good as out of it by now too..

  • say this out loud

    "im sofa king we todd it"

    "Mike Hawk is small"

    "Alpha kenny buddy"

  • are you 12 ?

  • no im 6

  • Sounds like it. I'm sure six year olds are viewing political videos......

  • yup yup

  • Ron Paul 2008 ! !

  • Zzzzzzzz...oh is it over?

  • I voted for Ron Paul and now I feel warm and fuzzy inside. It's fantastic! Try it out u guys. It works! Ron Paul!

  • boo

  • --debt as a percentage of after-tax consumer income is near an all-time high and consumers' confidence about future economic conditions is worsening.

    Get the govt out of your wallet -- Dr Ron Paul

  • fucking losers

  • I live in Kentucky and last week I was deeply disturbed when informed that I will be unable to participate in the primaries. In Ky. Independant's can NOT vote in primaries and i had to have changed my posistion by Dec31st. What kind country-club mentality does my state maintain? Am I not a citizen like anyone else? It seems unfair that because i tried to keep an open mind I am now being punished for it.

  • the bad thing in the system is that the candidate isn't elected by the number of votes he/she has. the winner should be the candidate that has the higher number of votes.

  • snow.

    vote for obama because he's cool.

  • Please vote only if you're well informed.

  • you are a cutie pie!

  • The system really doesn't seem fair. My state (NC) has far fewer choices after a certain portion of the country gets the privilege of choosing first. Some races have been close enough that it seems the participation of more states, or different states, at an earlier time might have switched things up a bit.

  • vote ron paul hes the only real candidate still in the race

  • your a fag

    -MORPHEUS

  • he still doesn't stand a chance at the RNC. its all about McCain and Romney right now, even Huckabee won't do well enough

  • Oh really?

    What a tool you are!

  • hey it was on news dumbass

  • i asked a simple question. you answer with calling me a dumbass. do you represent all his supporters. since rudy dropped out i thought it was possible. thank you though. that was real educated.

  • when did this happen?

  • Good thing that damn Fooliani drop out of the race. I'm from NY & trust me when I say he's bad news. Don't let all that 9/11 stuff fool you. He's was probably the most hated mayor in America before 9/11 & I'm glad that people got the word out about him. I really think he's going to bring McCain down by endorsing him but then again I don't plan on voting for him or any Republican come November so I can care less.
