Voter Registration Deadline Looms Near For Few

Have you registered to vote yet? According to my sources, in most cases it's too late. If you live in Iowa, Kansas, or South Dakota you still have (very little) time - get off the computer (unless you can register online) and go register. You can read the rest of this when you get back.

If you live in Alabama, Connecticut, Maine, Vermont, Washington, or Wisconsin, you still have some time, but it's running out.
********
If you live in New Hampshire, you can register at the polls, so don't let the excuse of not being registered dissuade you.
******
And did you know that in North Dakota, you don't even have to be registered in order to vote? Kinda ironic when you consider that here in Arizona we have a proposition on the ballot that, if passed, we will need to provide proof of citizenship to vote (don't even get me started on that).

The other day I saw a public service announcement on the TV by (Friends star) Jennifer Anniston. I really liked her message. She basically asked if you would be willing to let someone else choose what clothes to wear or who you could go out with, and if not, why would you let someone else choose your elected officials? So get out and vote.

Now if you didn't register but are otherwise eligible to vote, don't complain to me if "your" candidate doesn't get elected or "your" ballot initiative doesn't go your way.
