I have to say honestly that i don't, only because governement elections have becomenothing more than a game. The election candidate promise they will doo all kinds of things if they are elected then once they are in office they forget about thier campain promises and basicly screw us all in the end.
The day i come across a candindate that actually has a proven track record of possitive change in governement whether local or national, where in the end i don;t have to pay more taxes for less service and representation, than i will give it serious thought.

I agree with person number one on your list. I vote, yes, and if I don't, which I have not a few times, then I find myself kicking my butt when the person I wanted in office doesn't get elected. Voting is not difficult, it is the wondering if your vote counts. It does. Most of the time you can begin feeling that you are a voice in a swaying millions who doesn't get heard, but in fact if you say it at the right time, you will be. I voted for Kerry last election even though I liked him little more than Bush. I liked his running mate John Edwards, because he followed a lot of the same issues I thought needed to be addressed. I voted but my party lost. That is the nature pf politics, and knowing this just makes even more apparent that I need to get out there and vote, becuase my vote has counted before.

Absolutely. You can't complain about the government unless you get off your butt and put your say into it!
