Unless you have been under a rock you must know that the Primary season is in full swing. Nothing is more important to all of us as citizens than voting…yet in embarrassing numbers we don’t. Instead, many choose to complain about our elected leaders and then bemoan how we need to change them. Yet we sit on our butts and don’t vote.

The New Hampshire Primary is January 8, 2008 and it’s not too early to start thinking about your vote. This country has a lot of major issues facing us (you think?) and the only way you get to help fix what you perceive as wrong is to vote.

We’re lucky in New Hampshire. Because as you can see here, we take our responsibility to vote seriously. And what about Iowa, where the first true test of strength will happen? New Hampshire had the third highest turnout in 2004 and Iowa the sixth. What about Nevada where the powers that be think they should have an important Primary because they are more diverse than we are? They were down in the bottom 20% of voter turnout.

Let’s let New Hampshire continue to show the way to those big states that don’t like our importance in the Presidential sweepstakes every four years. If the rest of the country voted like we do, maybe people would stop complaining about those that are elected.
