Well, hey is gonna be a good experience for you

sinse it's your first time..

 

I've voted nov-2000 for the first time and i guess

i've made bad choice for the person i've voted for.

Aigh't it was Bush save you the time to guess,

sinse it was my first time i'm registered as a

republican,nothing i've really chosen at that moment.

I was in islamic group that handled political

affairs for concerns in the muslim communty,at

the time bush has met some of the

criteria that has sorrounded us..Not anymore however..

 

I'm not really in favor of john kerry as well

this year, so i'll be on the sideline with the green party, go with ralph nader...

[Wiilo]

Well, LuCkY STaRR, Good topic, and good question, iam also registered this year, and i really don't know how is like, but, we will see, iam also in a mood of not voting at all, 'cause i think that both Bush & Kerry waa isku mid, waxba ma kala wudana (Jug-Jug meeshaadi Joog)waa marki loo fiiriyo "Their Policy Towards Islam" marka aniga ma u maleynayo inaan vote di doono, balse walaalaheyn kuwii horay to vote day, haddii ay inoo sheegaa how is like, waa heer sare. Thanks again sista.........Lol

There are lots of proposals or measurs that will confuse you. What you need to do is just go over each proposal before you go to the voting place. DO THE HOMEWORK DEE. They been sending all the info.

I would love to vote for Nader if not for Green party Devid Cobb, but they are not in the ballet in this state. :mad: I have attended both, when they gave speech in a USF. Both are our "Ideal" candidates HADANU MUSLIIM NAHAY by far things would have been better. Had they been elected. Although JK isnt any better i would go for the "lesser evil".

This year We are going to use Computer, even though there are few glitches. Good lucky down in south. you guys should have one somali dude in ballet.

As-salaamu Alaikum,

 

First of ALL thnx for taking the time to repLy.

SecondLy,

 

I-P I've heard mentions about RaLph Nader(just his name though-not much eLse) but I do not think that he has much of an InfLuence(for a Lack of betta word @ the moment) because I have yet to see him on TV or eLsewhere.But do You mind give me a Lil info on him be4 the eLections?

 

They didnt give us much of a choice ya know from bush to kerry two wrongs DONT make a Right.

 

Wiilo You dont necessariLy have to stop voting aLtogether.You might wanna Look at RaLph Nader and vote for him Like Instinct-Poet is...or someone eLse.I was in that mood tiLL the 18th of OCT.when My Mama after taLks and taLks finaLLy got me to register.

 

Bachelor true about the homework I swear with aLL the crap that they are advertising Im gonna go nuts :eek: but I registered on the Last day which did not Leave me with enough time to DO the homework namean.Who is the SomaLi dude in here thats running?Are you taLking about CaLi in generaL or just in SD?

 

Anywhoo...THNx YaLL!

 

PEace !

[Wiilo]

LuCkY STaRR my dear i will vote for someone whoever that someone might be, anywayz, waa inoo Talaadada iyo voting ka...............Lol

 

Go figure

Bachelor, i've been watching so many things lately about the "other" candidates(green party, independants, liberaterians), and i get so frustrated..."if only the media paid them more attention," we wouldnt be dealing with all these people focused on these two candidates. I hate this whole concept of only choosing 1 out of the two front-runners. And who made this a rule all of sudden?? Do you know many americans dont even know how many candidates are in the Presidental race?

 

Oh and i wanted to let you know Bachelor that Ralph Nader is a write-in candidate for i believe every state that he isn't on the ballot for. You should check with your local elections office, but im pretty sure of it.

 

Guys he's running as an Independant and not a green party candidate, which instead is david Cobb. Another candidate that i favor is the Libertarian candidate, Micheal Bradnick ( i hope I spelled that right). The are almost 10 candidates running. There is the Socialist party's candidate, and the socialist workers cadidate, and the prohibition party , contrary to what some may say, you guys have a wide variety of people to choose from. And remember to vote for someone that you want to vote for, dont get appressed by all these ideas and opinions about how you should vote. Good Luck! I'll be watching the TV on the evening of November 2nd like the rest of the world!

Lucky: here is the three most important state ballet for us YES on prop 66 that is the three strick law. This law mainly affected the poor and minorities. NO prop 71 Stem Cell supported by pharmacutical company and tax payer will carry the burden some say it is pre clonning but i dont know to that. And the NO to the Indian casino prop i dont recall exactly but i guess it is prop 63....Yes, why dont you guys nominate one farax or xalimo

 

Fiance: A great deal of "grass root" movement is going on to change things so people would have more choice than merely two party. It will take time many people are getting feed up with two system party. For sure i will ask the "write-in" thing but I would very much love to see Ralph on our ballot but unfortunately he is not (that is what i heared). As far as i am concerned and since i have seen/heared these guys in person i would go for Divid Cobb.

GOOD LUCK TO ALL AND NEXT TIME HOPEFULLY THE MORON WILL BE A "FORMER PRESIDENT"

[Gabbal]

You might as well not vote if you plan to vote for Nadar :rolleyes: You already know it's not going to make a difference, so what's the point of wasting your time?

 

This is the case of the lesser evil, and frankly all I have to say is "Vote Kerry".

[Benevolent_ Beauty]

oh yeah..i'm votin'...needless to say i'm not voting for bush( B uck F ush)...this be the second time....2000 election i was voting for Gore just cuz he was a democrat...but now...itz personal..lol...n' the shitty thing is (excuse ma lang)...at the polls i was like..okay...president-Gore, Vice-lieberman...but the rest i was like...aah...just look for democratz even tho..i'd neva seen these names in ma life!!..so this time around i did my research...

 

 

See you all the polls 2morrow...n' REmember....

 

 

BUCK FUSH!!!!!!

[Alisomali]

HornAfrique said exactly what i wanted to say. Kerry is way of a lesser evil than coska(bush.

To all the nomads in Minnesota please go out and vote. You are in one of those swing states so your votes carry more ground than my vote cuz im in Cali.

And please dont vote for nader. Now is not the time do a protest vote this is a crucial vote for the entire world.

Im only 22 and im still on the Selective Service List, that means im eligible for a draft. And believe me, Bush's crazy A$$ is ready to fight N. Korea or Iran in his next term.

I dont know about you but i dont feel like getting drafted and going to fight in Pyonyang or Tehran.

VOTE KERRY

[- Femme -]

GOOD LUCK TO ALL AND NEXT TIME HOPEFULLY THE MORON WILL BE A "FORMER PRESIDENT

Hopefully the MORON will die a HORRIBLE DEATH.

[Bachelor]

Not about the winner or losser it is about who represent you better. Guys the state i am in is already known for its strong hold for Democrate. Both, John Karry and Boosh never bother to come here since they know the outcome. So, that in mind, i needed to deffer and express the furstration with two party system.

[OG_Girl]

Papa Bush will back! Did you ever think why OBL,s video now? Believe me we may hate it but is Middle East's benefit Bush to back. Will be excuse we are in war with them and hunt every American cause they vote for him hence they share with his crimes! :cool:

 

Ok, serious note here: Guys vote for who you think will reduce tax, offer better health care, better education, create jobs and make stronger economic. This is your new country be useful citizen who want make differences not just some one heavy weight on host country!Or how you present Islam, when you act you are stranger and nothing in common with people who have you citizenship, free education, peace? How you want Islam and Muslims seen good people who care about other as well as them selves? You are Muslim but you also American just like Bush and Kerry and care about your country. Be good example. Why Jewish strong cause they are smart! If you think this way you will be weak and weak people never be useful for their people or for their religion.

 

Every one knows, American foreign politics never change, there are principles and lines they can't go from it. So think how you strong your selves inside American society, make your self-heard cause you are useful you NOT every action make you have reaction!.

 

Ooops I think is too late to change ideas huh :confused:

 

Salam

[Senora]

^^No, you did good, trust me, it might just come in handy to someone^^

 

Bachelor, same here with me. Georgia is going to Bush, so i guess all of these people might as well say "the kerry voters are wasting their vote" :rolleyes: A bunch of bull crap that I'm not trying to hear. David Cobb, yeah, i listened to him a few times. Anyways, good luck!
