I unfortunately missed the last debate only getting to see a few parts of it. Hopefully, it'll help those who were undecided make their choice. The only thing I hope for is that we don't have the same atrocity happen twice in a row. Then, getting young people to vote will be even more impossible. Resulting in none of the issues that concern young people being addressed. Although I do have to applaud all of the Celebes taking time out to get people motivated to get out there and vote, to have their opinions matter and needs attended to. Already you can see that it's working from watching the 2nd debate. I don't know if I was the only one who caught this but the Pres. did say "haters" when referring to the terrorists. Unfortunately, I was completely distracted by it and had to laugh. Not because it was funny(which to me it was) but because he needed to do something to make the young voters notice what he was saying. It's definitely a start. A funny one, but a start none the less.

Buy a T-Shirt - Citizen Change: Vote or DieI am SOOO MAD!! well not really mad that I missed the presidential debate the other day. I hear that Kerry did very well. I am just disappointed with the whole voting process right now I don't know what to do. I am registered to vote and I WILL be voting(hopefully there will be millions more aside from me) so maybe this time everything will go as it should this time. The 00' campaign was just crazy with all of the 'dimples' and all. Disappointed isn't even the word for what I felt when that whole thing went down. Truckloads TRUCKLOADS of votes not used, dead people voting, live voters turned away...I don't know about other cities, but in St. Louis it was crazy here. Hundreds of people turned away at the polls. Alot of peoples registration 'lost' or they 'didn't register'. Personally, I did know two people who's registration magically disappeared into oblivion when it came time for the presidential election. I had gotten my card and everything to vote and we registered at the same time too so I know that it should've went through. Then, when the next local election came around, those people got their cards like nothing happened. Craziness.....Just CRAZINESS
