POLL: Are YOU a VOTER ? ? ?

[USAFSS-ColdWarrior]

This Thread is intended to be STRICTLY a Patriotic-Duty Survey.

PLEASE DO NOT jump on ANY polictial soapbox and jeopardize the thread's existance.

Simply answering the POLL without commentary will be completely acceptable.

Should you feel compelled to add commentary - Please keep it on topic and REALLY important enough for the rest of us to read.

Thank you for your participation in this survey.

 

[USAFSS-ColdWarrior]

Interesting.... 30 minutes into the Survey, 4 responses and 100% are Voters.

NOTE: I have discovered that without adding comments, the Thread is not "renewed" on the current topic lists.... so.... post a little something after you've voted if you notice it's dropping lower on the list.

Thanks

 

[Heavysteven]

I vote. Really can't post much on this because like you say political discussions are not allowed from what I have seen on this site.

 

[AMGeneral]

I vote in every election,actually went and voted early this time.

 

[KsM715]

I vote! Those that can, should. Those that can but dont, loose the right to complain when things go the wrong way.

( I've already voted this go-round as well )

 

[GoldComet6]

Yes - I always vote in the general election, primary, and any runoffs. I vote early also.

When I was little, my dad took me with him - so that's how I began to learn about the importance of it. He was always interested in politics (still is) and felt that's how he could improve things. I reccomend taking your children along if possible to show them the process at a young age.

This thread isn't very MV related at all. But I am registered and I do vote. I agree with what Jeff (KsM715) said. If you don't vote, you don't get the right to complain. And since I'm a firm believer in the old saying "The more you complain the longer God lets you live" I have to vote so I have something to complain about.

On the surface, this thread may not SEEM to be MV related, but look at the folowing and then please reconsider your comment....

1. This POLL is posted in the "Politics Related to the MV Hobby" intentionally.

2. I haven't, but you are welcome to go count the number of Threads within this "Politics Related..." subForum and then tell me that VOTING for MV-Friendly Officials would not have prevented the angst that so many of our Members have experienced with Bureaucrats.

3. Voting DOES effect the MV Hobby in a VERY DIRECT way.
3.a. The supply of MV's through various government auctions and sales only happens when Elected Officials provide funding for replacement equipment and therefore facilitate the disposal of the obsolete or surplus MV's etc. that WE buy and enjoy.
3.b. Elected Officials enmasse are given the POWER to promote or eliminate OUR ability to own and operate MV's through RESTRICTIONS of our FREEDOMS.

4. A LARGE percentage of our Membership are bonafide flag-waving patriots who preserve the Military Heritage of these MV's - This POLL is intended to gauge whether or not that patriotism carries over to the Voting Booth.

Thank you for your reconsideration.

Respectfully
John

Can't vote since I am a Dutchman living in the Czech Republic Would vote if I was a US citizen or greencard holder.

 

[RANDYDIRT]

I always vote, and those that don't piss me off.

Dirt

 

[mckeeranger]

I always vote, and will as long as I am able.

I respect the opinion of everyone that votes, whether they vote the way I do, or not. I don't have a lot of respect for the opinions of those that are eligible, but do not.

 

[minigunner64th]

I always vote, but there are a lot of voters that I wish would stay home.

"I always vote, but there are a lot of voters that I wish would stay home."
AMEN!!, MINIGUNNER!

Unfortunately I believe you should have to answer one of three questions correctly about each candidate before you can vote for that candidate and then also hear his opponents views before finally voting for a candidate.

We should learn from the NRA and find out if any of our legislators are in favor of the MV or collector vehicle hobby. A few minor changes in many state's statutes would really enhance the MV hobby. BTW, I do vote. Glen

CANT VOTE not a citizen

come to aridzona, you dont have to be a citizen to vote anymore aparently.

 

[USAFSS-ColdWarrior]

For those who are NOT US Citizens....

Thank you for your posts.
Although I had narrow-mindedly presumed this to be a US Election Survey, you are welcome to either check the NOT ELIGIBLE option - OR - if there are elections in your native land you can pick the option that best suits your situation.

To our more worldly Members - - - Thank you!

 

[SETOYOTA]

I always vote. It is your duty. I do frown upon uninformed voters.

 

[KsM715]

To piggyback on USAFSS-ColdWarrior's comments, Those that are not US citizens, but want to become a US citizen, come on in, study hard, learn the language, become a productive member of sociaty ( sp?,ok I cant spell) and become a citizen and I will personally drive you to the polls the first time you are eligible and I'll buy the first round when we are done voting.
