homeschoolmom Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 [quote name='Mrs. Bro. Adam' date='Oct 28 2004, 11:23 AM'] It is your duty as an American citizen to vote. [/quote] While I am 100% in favor of people voting, I am not sure I would agree that it is a "duty"... I think of it more as a privilage... Some countries have mandatory voting, we do not.

[/quote] You should go the head voting office in your area (usually the county tax assesor or something like that) and request to vote on a limited ballot. That means you will only be able to vote on those offices that are in common with the county where you are registered. They will let you vote, usually. If not, call the ACLU . . . make sure they think you're voting for Kerry or they won't return your call! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
track2004 Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 I voted absentee a while back, like a lil over a week ago. Voting absentee is cool because you can actually be an informed voter (by looking everyone up online). I'd highly reccomend it if you can meet the criteria.

BurkeFan Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 Voted absentee a few weeks ago. "As your Archbishop, I write to you now regarding the fulfillment of our civic responsibility for the common good, especially by exercising our right and fulfilling our duty to vote, in order to choose those representatives who will best serve the common good in government." - Archbishop Burke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
