I'm not a registered Republican or Democrat. I don't even vote.
My ideal registration system would be an opt-out one, where every single person is registered once they turn 18. In Australia, I'm told, everyone is registered to vote and you pay a fine if you don't vote.
I started out as a 16 year old registering people to vote.
Registering people to vote is not partisan activity.
I'm a moderate. I hang out in the middle. I vote against my party with some regularity and try to compromise. It doesn't appear right now that the Republican Party is welcoming moderates any more.
Let the people decide whom to vote for, who has more authority. And only people, only our citizens, are able to place the final emphasis, voting for this or that person or political force, or rejecting it. That's democracy.
I've been trying to write a book since before I was old enough to vote, and I've collected many rejection slips from publishers and magazines. I used to keep them all stuck to my refrigerator, with magnets, but an ex-girlfriend told me they were depressing, and defeatist, and suggested I take them down. A very wise suggestion on her part.
If I was British, I would vote resolutely 'remain' because it's in the U.K.'s interest.
I would not vote to raise the retirement age to 70 because there are just too many Americans that work hard all their lives and just simply physically couldn't work until they are 70.
Can anyone seriously contend that whether a 14-year-old boy, who thinks he is a girl, gets to use the girls' bathroom is a civil rights issue comparable to whether African-Americans get the right to vote?
I love seeing America vote, through the prism of my older working class neighborhood in Riverside, California.
I went to vote once, but I got too scared. I couldn't decide whom to vote for.
When we vote to leave, I think a majority of people in Scotland will also vote to leave as well.
Countless black citizens in the South couldn't vote. They were second-class citizens from cradle to grave. The discrimination was terrible, brutal.
The Alternative Vote is sectarian and self-serving and it will not improve people's lives.
If we want people to vote, we need to make it a larger part of their self-image.
It doesn't take a lot of seniority to vote the way you promised to vote.
If we're going to win this battle over fiscal responsibility, we need more of the people who vote right and fewer of those whose seniority is their only selling point.
If we don't allow people to vote in America, what is our democracy? It's a sham.
When push comes to shove, people vote alone.
