Jeffery Said:

Is Bush the "MOST VOWING" President in America's history? I have been voting for Presidents since the mid 50s

If you have been voting that long, you know the answer.
Ever see any Pres. to more to erode American prestige, credibility & respectability?

1. Describe how voting changed in America from the early days to the present.?

We Answered:

1. *In 1788 only white tax paying males age 21 or older could vote.

*In 1870 post civil war the 15th amendment of the constitution tried to give African American men the privilege to vote. This however failed because many did not have the money to pay the poll taxes, and the African American’s had a high illiteracy rate at that time.

*In 1964 These poll taxes were banned by the 24 amendment of the constitution, so black people could vote

*In 1920 women got the right to vote

*in 1924 native americans could vote

*In 1971 the voting age was lowered to 18

Geraldine Said:

How many people think they may not vote?

We Answered:

Granted who ever wins Obama or McCain it will most definitely be historic. I agree with you that a lot of people are more concerned about making history than voting for who is right. At the end of the day we have to look past race and gender and pick who we feel will best help ourselves and this country. If you can't decide who to vote for then you need to decide which issues are most important to you and where each candidate stands on those issues. By all means you shouldn't decide not to vote because you can't decide "how you want to make history". At the end of the day whoever gets picked we are stuck with that person for another 4 years. By not voting and "letting the rest of America vote and decide how they want to make history" as you put it you are letting someone else decide your future and if you have kids or plan to have them soon you are letting someone else decide their future. Not only that if you are a female or African- American you are basically saying that the struggle that people went through years ago so that we could have the right to vote was all for nothing. EVERYONE WHO IS LEGALLY ELIGIBLE TO VOTE SHOULD VOTE!!! (regardless of who you vote for) VOTING IS NOT ONLY A RIGHT BUT AN OBLIGATION!!!
