If we don't get out the vote,
who's to blame?
If we don't get out the vote,
who's to blame?
If we don't get out the vote,
then the MSM will gloat,
If we don't get out the vote,
who's to blame?
If we don't vote GOP,
who will care?
If we don't vote GOP,
who will care?
If we don't vote GOP,
Welcome Speaker Pelosi,
If we don't vote GOP,
who will care?
If Osama could vote here,
He'd vote Dem,
If Osama could vote here,
He'd vote Dem
If Osama could vote here,
Dems would be his choice, it's clear.
If Osama could vote here,
He'd vote Dem.
If you like impeachment trials,
Stay at home.
If you like impeachment trials,

If you like impeachment trials,
Dems will give you one with smiles,
If you like impeachment trials,
Stay at home.

“To make democracy work, we must be a nation of participants, not simply observers. One who does not vote has no right to complain.”
Louis Lamour
Let us encourage each other to do just that!
“As people do better, they start voting like Republicans - unless they have too much education and vote Democratic, which proves there can be too much of a good thing”
Karl Rove
“If you have been voting for politicians who promise to give you goodies at someone else's expense, then you have no right to complain when they take your money and give it to someone else, including themselves”
Thomas Sowell
# The average man votes below himself; he votes with half a mind or a hundredth part of one. A man ought to vote with the whole of himself, as he worships or gets married. A man ought to vote with his head and heart, his soul and stomach, his eye for faces and his ear for music; also (when sufficiently provoked) with his hands and feet. If he has ever seen a fine sunset, the crimson colour of it should creep into his vote...The question is not so much whether only a minority of the electorate votes. The point is that only a minority of the voter votes.
* G. K. Chesterton
Those who stay away from the election think that one vote will do no good: 'Tis but one step more to think one vote will do no harm.
* Ralph Waldo Emerson
The ignorance of one voter in a democracy impairs the security of all.
* John F. Kennedy

Hang down your head non-voters,
hang down your head and cry,
You chose to not take action,
And now all you can do is sigh.
Election day grew closer,
The media frenzy grew,
but you decided to stay home
And let the crazies vote in the zoo.
Hang down your head non-voters,
hang down your head and cry,
You chose to not take action,
And now all you can do is sigh.
Hope you like Pelosi,
her face is very very tight,
I hope you like to listen
to her shrieking in the night.
Hang down your head non-voters,
hang down your head and cry,
You chose to not take action,
And now all you can do is sigh.
Hope you like Jihadis,
They're happy you stayed home,
Now they're taking over Europe,
And giving you atomic calls to Rome.
Hang down your head non-voters,
hang down your head and cry,
You chose to not take action,
And now all you can do is sigh.
Once we gave the Iraqis
Hope for a better day,
But the people voted in cut and run,
cause they didn't have the guts to stay.
Hang down your head non-voters,
hang down your head and cry,
You chose to not take action,
And now all you can do is sigh.
How do you like the trials?
How they keep from any work
Everything that needs to be done
Is stopped to drag Bush in the dirt.
Hang down your head non-voters,
hang down your head and cry,
You chose to not take action,
And now all you can do is sigh.
Let us never forget that government is ourselves and not an alien power over us. The ultimate rulers of our democracy are not a President and senators and congressmen and government officials, but the voters of this country.
* Franklin D. Roosevelt
“Bad politicians are sent to Washington by good people who don't vote.”
William E. Simon
“Naturally, when it comes to voting, we in Texas are accustomed to discerning that fine hair's-breadth worth of difference that makes one hopeless dipstick slightly less awful than the other. But it does raise the question: Why bother? Oh, it's just that your life is at stake.”

Your every voter, as surely as your chief magistrate, under the same high sanction, though in a different sphere, exercises a public trust.
Grover Cleveland
"You know the one thing that's wrong with this country? Everyone gets a chance to have their fair say."
- Bill Clinton, former U.S. President
Oy veh!
Sink or swim, live or die, survive or perish, I give my hand and heart to this vote.
Daniel Webster
"He therefore is the truest friend to the liberty of this country who tries most to promote its virtue, and who, so far as his power and influence extend, will not suffer a man to be chosen into any office of power and trust who is not a wise and virtuous man."
Samuel Adams
Democracy is the only system that persists in asking the powers that be whether they are the powers that ought to be. ~Sydney J. Harris
