Absolutely, Ive registered 25 times with Acorn which proves that I am 25 times more important.

I plan on voting for Mickey Mouse like I do every election.

The media like obama because he is a nigger but they like him even more because he is a freedom hating left wing gun grabbing baby killing hypocrite.

The only way to increase the number of young voters is to fool them into thinking that their election ballot location is the sight of a rave party.

I'm 56 years old. Don't let us old people totally determine what your country will be like and what it will do. Push your weight around. Get organized. Vote. Have it YOUR way.

When I was in my 20s and 30s, I didn't vote. I thought "what's the use." Then I got fed up and said that even if all I have is one vote, I'm going to damn well use it. And I have been involved and proud of myself ever since.

You don't just have one vote. You have a lot of energy that you can use to influence other voters

O yea: Why hasn't anyone stepped up and asked why mot of our rights have been taken away in the name of terrorism?

Its time that Gen X and Y start taking back this country piece by piece, this is a democracy for 'christ' sake! the Gov should be afraid of us, not the other way around!

I am 28, and just registered to vote last week, thanks to Rock the Vote. I was sitting playing my Xbox 360 one night, and this rock the vote stuff popped up, and I checked it out.

Yes, we young adults are extremely fed up with this countries B.S. From sending our friends to die overseas, to stupidly priced gas, to a President that can't even give a press conference without making a fool out of himself.

None of the potential presidential candidates is qualified. Even FDR wasn't qualified until he ran for his third term.

Absolutely but not for O0bama and certainly not mccain.
