I absolutely believe that there are a lot of voters who shouldn't be voting. I'm referring to the people who, for example, vote for someone because they recognize his/her name, because they think he/she is handsome/pretty, of simply because he/she is the incumbent, without really knowing anything about the person. When you see that a Congress has a very low approval rating then see over 90% of that Congress get reelected, it really seems absurd. I welcome every eligible person to vote, but PLEASE do your homework first. A good place to start is vote411 dot org. If you enter your address they can show you only the candidates that will be on the ballot in your precinct (almost). I also really love the Voters Guides prepared by The League of Women Voters.
I really believe that if more voters were informed voters, we could finally start breaking away from the status quo by electing those who sincerely have their constituents' best interest at heart.
We get the government we demand. In order to get effective government that reflects the will of the people - -the people have got to show up.

Who should you vote for Obama or McCain or Nader?
It all depends on your personal views of the issues they are talking and debating about. If you agree with the specific candidate on many things that you think are important, then this person is the one that you should vote for. Some people do not vote though because of the issues, they are against people because of their race, ethnicity, or age. You should not vote this way. You should vote for the person who you think will most help America and Americans today. I am not the legal age to vote yet but my family disagrees on almost every part of politics because that is their opinion. If I was allowed though, I would vote for Obama.
