Everyone always talks about our country: What's great about it, what's wrong with it, how to fix it.


As cliché as it sounds, the only way to truly have your voice heard is to vote [1] and with primaries [2] starting in January, time is running out.


President Bush at this point is a lame duck (only figuratively?), but still has power over things. The coming elections give the power to the people once again to fix his mess. I wonder if I, as a voter, should trust all of you party-line voters...


Partisanship aside, the 2008 election [3] is one of the biggest in a couple of decades, for many reasons.

First and foremost is the debacle in Iraq. I, personally, am against the war and wish to see our troops home soon. I know others have their opinions about it, but this isn't the blog for it.

Secondly, are the candidates [4]. America has a real chance at having either a minority or a female for president. As far as this country goes, that's historic. And to think, you have a say in that.

Besides those reasons are the issues of taxes [5], abortion [6], and immigration [7], mainstays in American politics.

My point is this: Get out and vote [8].

You have the right to your opinion, but who will care what you have to say if you don't vote [9]?
