Question:
I find the VOTE OR DIE commercials and theme to be offensive and most importantly, a little annoying. What do you think of this new tactic of threatening people to vote? Voter apathy is what makes our country great.



Choices:
Let's send death threats to the creators of those commercials.
Down with the government!
The commercials are fabu.
It's like we're in Nazi Germany.
It's like we're at Six Flags.

Vote or Die, huh, that kinda sounds good untill u take into consideration that many people have no clue about what they are doing, they just follow the crowd. If u are an informed voter, then yes u should vote and if u don't vote don't ***** about the new guys decisions, if u r un informed, well the shame on u and don't vote.

The electoral college decides the President, not the voters. If the voters had a real say, then Gore would have won. There was also another president this happened to a long time ago.

I'm sorry, but i find these commercials a little stupid. I think every vote is important, don't get me wrong. I encourage all my friends that can vote to vote. I just think these commercials are silly. If you don't vote, your nto going to die. But if you don't vote, don't complain about who gets elected. (That is if you could vote and didn't, i can't vote and I complain) You could have changed it.

If anything, the last election should have been a sign of how IMPORTANT an individual's vote is. Florida was on a teeter totter and a few votes one way or the other could have affected everything. And that's literally a few votes.

I love those commericals on Nickelodeon that lie to the children. They're like, "The US is a democracy! Not a theocracy, a military dictatorship, etc! It's a democracy!" But, it's not. It's a republic, it says so in the pledge.

Some people take voting way too seriously. Just look at the quote in my signature.

I got a phone call from P. Diddy himself telling me to "Vote or die! Vote or die!" Then he hung up. I think if I don't vote, he actually might kill me.

I think the vote or die theme represents the power we have and the power we could lose if we don't use our right. So please

I think that the campaign is an awesome idea. It's putting everything more in your face, and make you realize that voting is important. I don't see it as a threat at all, it's more of a voice. A different voice than some people would like, but at least someone is out there finally telling America how important their vote really is.

I think that the message that is being sent is a good one. It's just that simple, vote or die. Get out there and do you part to make this country and this world a better place. You vote counts just as much as anyone elses. Vote or Die America.
