Whenever I meet someone wo doesn't vote, I always ask them if they have a grandfathe, father, uncle, brother or cousiin who fought in WW2. Then I tell them they should be ashamed for not voting, the right their relative fought to preserve for them.
I am always hopeful that I can convince them to become informed and to vote.

thank you, all veterans! backtoblue Feb 2013 #1
