Marian Berry, spelling is probably wrong.  DC Mayor, perfect example of the unintelligent voting.

He took a van straight down to the projects and got as many people registered to vote as possible.  What happened?  They reelected a crack head.

Also, you should be much more concerned about who is sitting on the local school board, city council, and other local governments.

I bet you’d be real surprised at what’s actually going on in your backyard by your “elected” leaders.  Everyone is so concerned about the federal level they don’t see the city council passing bread bans on Pit bulls because a Labrador took some kids face off.

Or how about giving radar guns to citizens to track speeding cars on residential streets?  Or putting in a Wal-Mart in a residentially zoned area because the council didn’t read the fine print?  All things that have happened in my area that I would guess 90% of the “voters” have no idea about.

My answer is that if you don't vote, then when the day  comes and someone takes away your right to vote.  You will have nothing to complain about. It'll be too late.  Failing to vote implies you have no interest in democracy.

I suggest voting against the candidate you dislike most. That's what I do.  

I always vote if I can.  We just can't afford to take the right for granted.
