I always vote because the way I figure, if you don't vote, you got no right to complain about who's in office. I feel it gives me the right to state my opinion about the Administration because I had a part in creating it. Those who don't vote, then whine about the way things are, well, are just whiners and complainers in my book.
I just applied for my absentee voting ballot a few weeks ago. Plans are for me to be overseas until 2008, but that doesn't matter to me. It all affects me over here, too!
