20. Like it or not, there are a lot of individuals who will do whatever Sean Hannity or Rush Limbaugh tells them to do.

19. "The ballot is stronger than the bullet." -- Abraham Lincoln

18. Watch the documentaries "Uncounted: The New Math of American Elections", "Hacking Democracy" and "SiCKO" for evidence as to why.

16. The stakes have never been higher in terms of moving away from a drill and burn energy policy and a lie and die military policy.

14. At the current rate, when your children are adults, the United States will owe China more money than actually exists on the planet.

13. "Bad officials are elected by good citizens who do not vote." -- George Jean Nathan.

9. "There have been many times in recorded history when one vote turned the tide. When women’s right to vote was ratified throughout America, the last state to ratify it was Tennessee.

That one single person’s vote gave Tennessee the final ratification to allow women to vote in America." -- Ben Nighthorse Campbell

4. "The idea of an election is much more interesting to me that then election itself. The act of voting is in itself the defining moment." – Jeff Melvoin
