Reason # 3 To Do It In '04: Vote Because Some People Don't Want You To

Scary, but true, there are actually people in the world who work hard to prevent others from voting. There are documented cases of voter intimidation and worse: misleading flyers that threaten arrest at the polls, illegal tampering with voter registration forms, list "purging", and even shady characters that haunt polling places trying to intimidate those who have come to cast a vote. Sometimes it's more personal. Maybe your uncle thinks you are going to "vote the wrong way" and tries to discourage you. Perhaps that teacher says you can't possibly swing that electoral vote. If you listen to them long enough, or believe the lies they whisper about voting, there is a chance you will succumb and feel too discouraged to vote. Boo! It's scary when you don't vote! You have more fire in the belly than that, don't you? We say vote because someone out there doesn't want you to.
