It's our civic duty and privilege as Americans to have influence on who controls our country and therefore our freedom. We should feel a responsibility to educate ourselves on candidates and put our voice out there. Taking advice from the celebrity trainwreck of the week doesn't qualify. Keep the good word coming sister!

Does that make me a bad American? Probably. <br /><br />My husband and I have often had debates about which is worse: the uninformed voter or the non-voter. I, like you, Katie, agree that the uninformed voter is worse. The voter who goes into the booths and pushes the button because that's a name that can easily be pronounced, or because of gender, or based solely on political party regardless of the actual stances. Those are the people that shouldn't be voting. <br /><br />Worst of all are the Americans that don't put their country first and make it a priority to take 30 minutes and read about the candidates in their areas and then go and vote. Yes, this includes myself. And now I do feel ashamed and guilty. :(Layla and Deliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09279044838953220490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7266532930890300233.post-28796476946780707912010-11-02T14:22:11.619-07:002010-11-02T14:22:11.619-07:00Thanks Mike!

Because I agree that I don't want a bunch of idiots who don't know anything about the issues voting just because P.
