Why though? Because you live there doesn't mean you can't form your own views and opinions, and it isn't a crime to vote against your party, but it is bad if you don't know what you are voting for.
I got so mad when Bush was re-elected, I don't understand why all the poor people he is against vote for him.
I want healthcare, and I want my rights!
The way it is going, eventually we will have no rights. People need to realize what is going on, and stand up for themselves!
Know your party before you vote. I would vote republican if it meant we would all get better schools and healthcare. If I knew that they were doing things that benefited ME and YOU instead of all the rich people that get all kinds of benefits, because they are rich republicans.
I don't care what party is in office, I DO care about what they are doing, and if any of it benefits US, instead of oil companies or people with money coming out of everywhere..
We need better health regulations, we need to get rid of bad drugs like cocaine and heroin and crack and METH (which is sadly and little known probably the worst of them).. Meth could be easily rid of, they just need to get rid of EPHEDRINE AND PSEUDOEPHEDRINE. Those ingredients are not necessary in cold medicines, and honestly we would all be healthier if we didn't RELY on medicines, and use them only if absolutely necessary.
Money needs to be put into schools, more scholarships for poor kids who will never be able to afford to go otherwise, more into RELIABLE defense, instead of throwing the jobs to their friends.
Learn your candidate, and decide if what they are planning on is what is going to help the country in the long run. If not, vote for someone else.
I'm not saying change your party, but really do some research on who you are voting for! The smarter we vote, the smarter our country will be, the healthier, and the HAPPIER.
