I am sure everyone knows by know that in a little more than a moth, one of the most historic elections of our nation will be taking place. No matter what it will be a first in American history. We will either have a black President, or a woman Vice-President. Now I know not everyone is eighteen, but this can still effect you. To vote in the election you must register, and you must do so SOON! Some states last day to register is tomorrow (October 4th). If you have not yet registered go here https://ssl.congress.org/congressorg/e4/nvra/ and you can do so. This is the one chance you have to let your voice be heard, take it. Now if you aren't eighteen make sure that your parents are registered. Your older siblings, friends, teachers. We need everyone to vote, because everyone makes a difference. I don't want to tell you who to vote for but I am telling you to vote. If you don't, and you had the opportunity to, you can't complain for the next four years of your life. So go out and do it, otherwise you are not only missing out on a historic event, but you are also cheating yourself.
You Need To Register!

I just found out that the MN deadline is October 14th. Another thing people should consider is checking to be sure they are CORRECTLY registered. I just checked my registration, and I am still registered at my old address, which apparently didn't matter for the caucuses.
Obama's website has a great tool for checking your registration. You enter a little info and it finds your registration. That's how I figured mine out. Then it lets you fill out a voter registration form online, which you can print, sign, and mail.

Colorado's is October 6th; I registered at the DMV today, so if anything's not correct, it's my own fault for not reading the registration card.
