I got my voter registration card in the mail the other day and am pretty excited. I haven't 100% chosen who I'm voting for yet, but I will definitely know by election day. Thanks for this great reminder to get involved! Well said lady! I got my voter registration card in the mail the other day and am pretty excited.

I am a huge politics nerd too. When I turned 18, I didn't buy cigarettes or lottery tickets or pr0nz - my mom and I went and took pictures of me registering to vote. (I might be more of a general nerd than just a politics nerd, but that's another story...) Anyway, I plan to vote early, and to try to get my friends to vote early as well - there's no point in waiting in line at the last minute if you don't have to! Thanks for getting the word out!

I had become one of those apathetic voters who just didn't vote because I figured, what was the point? I didn't seem to be affected by anything going on, because I had my nave blinders on, so I didn't think I had a stake in the outcomes of the elections. But then I started reading up on the issues and saw the debates and got informed and realized that hey, the government we have now just isn't working for me. It's time to stop being lazy and step up to the plate, not only as a twenty-something woman, but as a Canadian, and make myself heard. At least I can say that I tried to change things by voting and making myself count. AMEN! I had become one of those apathetic voters who just didn’t vote because I figured, what was the point?
