If you’re going to vote then you really need to do your research on each of the candidates and only vote for one because of what they are going to do. Too many people will just vote based on what a candidate looks like, or hearsay from their friends.

I completely agree, if somebody doesn’t care enough about the system to vote, they probably don’t care enough to analyze the issues at hand and make a rational decision.

I learned from a minister out of Arizona that the Constitutional Republic allows us 3 votes. The first (weakest vote) is the one you are referring to. The second is when you serve on a Grand Jury. The third is the most powerful vote we have: this is when you are acting as a jury member during a courtroom trial. At this point, “the buck stops” here with you. The only power a judge has over the Jury is their ignorance. Nice article Josh. As marketers, we need to be reminded about our freedoms and responsibilities.

But how do you educate people on politics? Its a never ending debate. People do not have the time or seem to care enough to either educate themselves or learn from someone who knows.

I agree that everyone looking to vote, should inform themselves on what each candiate stands for.

I think the real problem is when Religious leaders influence people to vote for a candiate.

LOL, it is quite a bold statement… but I agree 100%

I know way too many people who vote without having the slightest clue what the candidate stands for. They follow what campaign commercials say, and what their friends are doing.

people need to be more educated before heading to the ballots, and that just wont happen.

I totally agree. Especially when they people trying to encourage people to vote are pushing a single issue and the voter is uneducated about all the other issues but still casts a ballot that is equal in weight to the person who educates themselves about ALL the issues.
