Why Do You Vote?

I had my say about why I think voting is essential and a duty of every citizen but now I was hoping you'd give me your reasons for voting.

What issues are driving you to the polls today?

Keep the mudslinging to a minimum please!

Remember Vote!

I believe voting is a right and a duty of every citizen. I vote my values, and for which direction I would like to see the country, state and local areas going. Changes in Madison, and right here at home are driving me to the polls as well as the marriage question on the ballot.

I'll keep it simple if you disagree with the way government is going ----VOTE, if you agree with something a politician is doing right--- VOTE to keep them there. You can't complain unless you have put your vote in. It's the only way we can tell government what we want, need and deserve. Now do they listen? Thats another blog altogether.

Voting is not a right
Voting is not a duty
Voting is a privelege
FAR too many people do not realize that

Voting is not a duty???? If it's not our duty to vote as citizens, whose would it be? The illigals? Voting is not a right? If it's not a right than why does that right get taken away from felons. The only thing I agree with is that it is a privilage.

oooops! I hit send and didn't get a chance to finish my thought. It's (voting) a priveledge AND a duty. We need to stand up for we feel in right. I get sick and tired of people who say, "My one vote won't count" but then complain with the way the election turns out. If you're not going to vote, then zip it. It's your duty to get out and make a difference. It's a priveledge that many others in other countries DON'T have (but now some do have, thanks to our brave soldiers who volunteered to join the military), so, please get out there!!! As far as the issues that get me out to vote, let me say that I have voted every election that I could since I was 18...I missed the 1984 vote because I turned 18 in December...I was pretty irate!!! The ban on marriage is the most important issue this election. The sanctity of marriage really needs to be upheld. Enough said.

FOX 6 Meteorologist =========================
Rob is an AMS Certified Broadcast Meteorologist and also holds the National Weather Association Seal of Approval as well as the Endorsement of the Canadian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society. =========================
A long, long, time ago in a farmers field far, far away, Rob noticed a change in the wind and became fascinated with the weather. Why you ask? (Pause for you to say "why?") Well, it was at that moment he realized he was downwind of the manure pile on the turkey farm where he grew up! After that he watched the weather very carefully in an effort to save his sense of smell! Okay, that's not entirely true but I did grow up on a turkey farm and I have been fascinated with weather and broadcasting for quite some time. I began my career in radio before making the jump to TV. I worked on Good Morning Toronto. After that, I decided to pursue my dream of living and working in the U.S. and joined Wake Up Rochester in Rochester NY. I spent three years in "Bills Country" before coming to my senses and moving to "Packer-Town!" (GO PACK!) I also spent some time trying to make it big as a comic actor and studied the art of improvisation at Toronto's Second City Theatre with teachers like SCTV's Joe Flaherty! I moved here with my beautiful wife, Tanya, who's the real comedian in the family, my son Noah, who's giving my wife a run for the title of funniest Haswell and my daughter Nyla who is the cutest 2 feet of human being you could ever meet! We're very excited to be living in the great city of Milwaukee and we're looking forward to learning all there is to know about Wisconsin! By the way, where do you buy those cheesehead hats anyway?
