I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America,
and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, with invisible
liberty and justice for all.
How was that?
Terrific. Close to being perfect. Only it's indivisible.
Not invisible with liberty and justice for all.
Are you sure?
What is indivisible?
The country can't be divided.
Well, the country is divided.
How so?
Some guys want that stupid man to be president.
And some guys want that other stupid man to be president.
Did you learn that at school?
No, we learned it at home.
Martin. No, it's on TV instead of cartoons.
The two men running for president are not stupid.
And it's not nice to call anyone stupid. And we certainly all should have
respect for the current president as well as for the men who's running
him for president.
The president has the responsibility for leading this great nation of ours.
Good morning.
Good morning.
Is Ruthie ready for school?
Yeah.
I'm sure she'll be down. Look, I was wondering if I could talk to you again
about the election.
I know there have been a couple of problems at school where maybe you were
little overly enthusiastic in stating your opinion, and I'm wondering if it's
not now spilling.
into our home.
When you're with the twins, I'm wondering if you could talk more
about the basic freedoms that we enjoy in this country, one of the most basic
being freedom to vote.
Sure.
Yeah.
I'm sorry.
I still haven't finished my homework.
Let's go.
What homework haven't you finished? Why didn't you tell somebody you needed some
help? Because it's my homework and I'm responsible for not doing it. Don't you
think that should be I'm responsible for doing it?
When I was in high school, I was too afraid to go to school without my
And back then it was blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Okay. What did your dad just say to you?
I don't know.
What was he saying to you when I came down?
I don't know.
Well, then it probably doesn't matter.
It's like I just blank out sometimes when he's talking to me.
Mocking with the family.
Hey, good morning.
I'll drive you, boy. Cool.
Thanks.
Have you registered yet?
You haven't told anyone that I didn't register yet, did you? No, but did you
not? I will. As soon as I drop off the boys at school.
Well, look, Lucy, there's only one week left to register, and this is your first
presidential election.
It's real important, especially since you're voting as a woman and a mother
a wife, that you get registered, you get informed, you know, you get to the
polls on election day.
Seven heavens, when I see their happy faces, by letting back at me.
Seven heavens, I know there's no greater feeling than the love of family.
Where can you go?
Thank you.
Congratulations.
Oh, please, he's an idiot.
Obviously, but so is the other one. I mean, I don't even know why we're in
Yeah, why even bother?
You know, it's a free country. You can say what you want, unlike Iraq.
Come on, Martin, we all know you're a hawk, but what about the people that are
dying? The innocent people?
What about the innocent people who were dying before we had anything to do with
it? Right on, dude.
I just don't want to see any more Iraqis lose their lives.
I have family in Iraq.
They're very grateful to America. They say now they have hope for their
children's future, something they didn't have before.
Yeah, well, I've got relatives in Iraq, and they still don't have electricity
where they are. So my dad's supposed to what? Protect people and put a power
line?
Why should we be concerned with getting anyone electricity?
Do you know how many people in Appalachia can't pay their electric
don't have electricity?
You don't hear them whining.
And you don't see us doing anything to help our own country.
So what does that mean? We should only help people who live in America?
Yeah, that's exactly what it means.
You think what goes on in one part of the world doesn't affect what goes on in
every part of the world? Absolutely.
So why isn't the U .S. stepping in to protect Africa?
Why isn't the Sudan in the news every day?
Innocent people are dying by the millions.
You know, maybe if we weren't fighting a war in Iraq, we'd have resources to do
that. Why are you guys so concerned about peace in Iraq?
There's not going to be peace anywhere until there's peace throughout the
East. If you ask me, we should be paying more attention to North Korea. I mean,
we ought to be putting some funds towards that situation.
Why leave home to spend our money? You think Native Americans have been treated
fairly? You think we won't benefit from a few bucks from that war chest?
Of course. But historically, we always helped out. Do we stop helping people
because people hate us?
And not everyone hates us.
I'm Italian, second generation.
My father says if America hadn't rescued our families during World War II, we'd
still be hiding from Mussolini.
Mussolini would be 121 years old now.
Maybe if we weren't so busy policing the world, we could police our own
neighborhood. Come on, my brother's a cop. You know what he makes? You know
I make?
Let's go. This discussion's over.
Well? Well, what?
Don't you have an opinion about anything?
A cause you'd be willing to speak up for?
Yeah, of course I do.
I'll speak up when I'm ready to speak up.
I filled up your car for you.
Oh, I could have done that, but thanks.
See you later.
What time will you be home?
Um, I'm not sure. I'm going to a political debate.
They're going to talk about women's issues in the election.
As opposed to men's issues or human issues?
It's a class assignment. I have to go.
And I want to go.
Should be very informative.
What are you going to do with the information?
What do you mean?
I know your little secret.
You're not registered to vote.
I registered this morning. When?
When?
On the way back home from dropping the twins off at school.
Oh, great.
Where? Where?
Where they register people to vote.
What's the matter? You don't believe me?
Hey, you still have one week. I'll take you if you want. I don't need you to
take me. I took me. I registered to vote.
Which party? Why do you want to know that?
Just curious. We've never really discussed politics that much.
So let's not start now. See you later. Thanks for filling up the car.
You're doing it all wrong.
You're stupid.
No, you're stupid.
Hey, hey. How was your day?
Fine. Good.
Your laundry's sitting in the basket in the dryer. You want to bring it upstairs
before you settle into doing your homework?
I'll get it later.
No, hold on.
You have certain responsibilities here in addition to going to school and doing
your homework.
We all have to pitch in around here.
But you're obviously distracted. What's going on?
Ruthie?
I'm sorry.
I'll get it.
No, I'm way past the laundry lecture. I said what's going on.
Now, was your day really fine or did something happen?
Okay. Okay.
My day was humiliating. How were you humiliated?
Evidently, my interest in boys has overshadowed my interest in just about
everything else in this world. I know nothing.
Well, you are only in ninth grade, you know. There's a lot to learn and a lot
consider before you form your own opinion.
Maybe it was like that in the olden days, but it's not like that now.
You know, Martin asked me if I had a cause I'd speak up for. I had to lie.
I knew this had something to do with Martin.
The closer it gets to election, the closer he gets to exploding.
Didn't your father talk to him just this morning about being careful, about
voicing his opinions?
I don't know.
But, I mean, it's not like it was just him.
There was a whole bunch of people voicing their opinions, and I have no
on anything.
I'm telling you, I'm giving up on boys and getting on the Internet.
Oh, that's right.
We're still living in biblical times. We don't have the Internet.
May I suggest NPR, National Public Radio?
You get plenty of free information from a variety of informed sources.
What's up?
Ruthie, she's giving up on boys because she felt humiliated today at school by
Martin and a bunch of other kids who made her feel that she knows nothing
anything. I don't care why she's giving up on boys just as long as she's giving
up. That's great news.
Yes, you do care. Didn't you talk to Martin this morning about this?
I'll get this one.
Hey, stop that. What's going on?
Why are you fighting? He called me stupid.
I thought we weren't going to call anyone stupid. Isn't that what we talked
about this morning, not calling anyone stupid?
You said not to call the guy running for president stupid. You didn't say not to
call Sam stupid.
Yes, I did.
No, I don't think you did.
Well, maybe you weren't listening.
I said not to call anyone stupid.
In this house, we don't call anyone stupid.
What about in the White House?
Nope, not in the White House. What about in the other guy's house?
No, name -calling is inappropriate in anyone's house, or outside anyone's
for that matter.
We saw a lot of men doing that and waving the flag at the same time. It's
all the time. Haven't you seen it? Yes, those are political advertisements.
I'm sure it must all be very confusing, especially when you see grown -ups
misbehaving. But here's the thing.
Name -calling is a last -ditch effort to discredit the other person, and it's
wrong. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Think about that.
By any chance, did Simon take the other children's ability to hear me when he
left? I don't seem to be getting through to anyone.
I've been wondering the same thing.
I've been telling Lucy for weeks now to register to vote, and as of today, she
still hasn't registered.
Lucy isn't registered to vote?
No. Neither is Kevin. He never registered after he moved here.
I wasn't supposed to mention that. I wasn't supposed to mention, you know,
Lucy either.
Simon. Is Simon registered?
I don't know.
Mary and Carlos?
I don't know.
Matt and Sarah?
Shouldn't we know?
By that, don't you mean shouldn't I know? I didn't say that. That's what
thinking. I'm not. Then what are you thinking?
I'm thinking that actions speak louder than words.
What does that mean? It means that voting speaks louder than not.
You still think I didn't vote in the last election?
I know you didn't vote. I'm just hoping you vote this time.
You know what I'm thinking? I'm thinking that thou doth protest too much. Maybe
you didn't vote in the last election.
You're stupid.
No, you're stupid.
I didn't say anything.
I didn't say anything either.
Where are you going?
Nowhere. How was the political debate?
It was fine. I'm just hungry. I thought I'd stop by and get some fries.
You can register to vote while you wait for your fries.
Really?
You're not registered to vote, are you?
Registered? To vote?
Please. I told you before. I registered.
I'm a cop.
I can tell when someone's not being completely honest with me.
There's no shame in registering late.
Then why are you acting so annoying?
So you didn't.
You're not.
All right.
Oh, right.
I'm not registered.
I'm going to register.
So am I.
So are you.
You haven't registered?
Nope. Then why are you smiling when you lied to me and your daughter?
Lied? I didn't lie. You never really asked me. And why would I?
All this time, you let me and your daughter think you're a registered
I was. I just haven't changed my registration since I moved here.
And yet you let me think that I'm a traitor to my country because I haven't
registered to vote.
You should be ashamed of yourself.
Why? Because you're ashamed of yourself?
No, I'm not ashamed of myself.
I'm going to school, I'm getting my degree, I'm working, I'm having a baby,
I'm kind of proud of myself for everything else I'm doing.
Maybe I haven't had time to register to vote.
But you, what are you doing that you couldn't register to vote?
Oh, let's see. Go into your doctor appointment.
Picking up midnight snacks, filling up your car, fetching things day and night.
Oh, and let me see, what else is there? Oh, yeah, protecting the safety of
everyone in the city of Glen Oak. Maybe I didn't have time to change my
registration to vote.
So I'm your excuse?
Me and your daughter and our needs are keeping you from doing what any other
decent citizen should be doing? Since when did it become the two of you
me? Since you acted like my not registering to vote was stupid.
I didn't call you stupid.
Not so many words, bud.
Bud? but we think you are just as stupid.
Hey.
You want some help with your homework?
What makes you think I can't do it on my own?
Because it's supposed to be on the presidential election.
So? So, if you don't have an opinion about anything going on in the world,
did you have an opinion on the presidential election?
What makes you think I don't have an opinion on anything that's going on in
world? I was just listening to NPR.
And? And what?
And what have you learned?
What are you, my political advisor?
I could be. If only you could see both sides of any issue. I can see both sides
of any issue, the right side and the wrong side. Well, maybe there isn't a
side and a wrong side.
Well, maybe you're... Stupid?
I didn't say that. But you were going to say that. Well, at least I read the
newspaper and watch the news every day. And I don't, so I'm stupid.
Stupid is a stupid does.
Well, you must be stupid to call me stupid.
Hello, you've reached Carlos and Mary and Charles Miguel.
Please leave a message.
Hi, honey, it's your dad.
Hey, Dad.
Carlos, hey.
I was just calling to say hi.
Really? Really. Why, don't I usually call just to say hello?
Rarely. That's okay. We love talking to you. Don't we, Charlie?
Where's Mary?
Oh, she went to a political rally.
Oh, that's great. Who's it for?
Oh, Mary said if you called not to tell you, so I...
I'm just following orders.
Yeah, but if she didn't want me to know, then obviously it's not the person that
I would want her to be campaigning for. But, of course, that's not important.
What's important is that you're both registered to vote and you're both
in the upcoming presidential election.
That's what's important.
Ah, you see, I knew you called for a reason. Well, it's just that so many
people haven't registered to vote, and that's so important to this election.
If everyone who was eligible to vote...
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Blah, blah.
Oh, sorry, Dad. What were you saying?
Would you ask your mother if there's something I can do to help get dinner
ready? My mother and I are going out for dinner.
What, no dinner at this hour? What's going on?
An election.
Ruthie's watching the boys.
Well, I have to go. Give my love to Mary and Charlie, and don't forget to
register to vote, and don't forget to vote. It's important.
Tell me, tell me, Charles.
What is it that makes us parents so difficult to listen to?
Yeah, what is it?
I'm going to pick up something since evidently you and Mrs. Camden aren't
speaking to each other.
You want to pick something up for the rest of us? I could, but your daughter
just called me stupid, so I'd rather just pick up something for myself.
Where's your brother?
I don't know.
There he is.
Did you guys eat? I ate. Mommy made me a sandwich.
So David ate too? I don't know anything about him.
So everyone ate, but Martin and me?
I don't know.
I don't know anything.
Or haven't you heard? No, I haven't heard.
Well, maybe you should ask Martin, because he thinks he knows everything.
Especially about the presidential election.
I just talked to him this morning.
Well, I don't think he was listening.
Well, I'll talk to him again.
Please do. And make it one of your long and serious sermons. Not just a
sermonette. You and Martin have been fighting since school started. Or even
before that.
Yeah, I know.
Would you like a
sandwich? I'm not hungry.
You? You're not hungry?
Lucy and I had a fight, the first fight we've had since she got pregnant.
Oh, well, that's not too unusual.
When Annie was pregnant with Matt, we used to have a lot of fights.
About politics?
About politics, about laundry, about a lot of things. It was a very stressful
time. But with each pregnancy, I started to learn... Blah, blah, blah, blah,
blah.
I just felt so stupid not having registered before that that I took it
Kevin. I think Kevin's dad does not know that I'm not registered.
But you and Kevin ran into each other as you were going to register. Didn't you
register? I was too upset to register.
But Kevin isn't registered either.
Well, I know. That's what got me so upset.
Wait.
How do you know that?
Dad knew?
Did Dad tell you?
Did Dad tell you that Kevin's not registered? Because that would mean that
told Dad before he told me. Oh, does it really matter?
Did you tell Dad that I'm not registered?
Oh, Lucy, I'm sorry. It just slipped out. How could it just slip out?
I don't know. Politics makes people say stupid things to each other.
I'll say.
I beg your pardon?
I don't care how old I get. Everyone else in the family always knows
before I do. I'm sorry, Lucy. Let's not make this little slip of the tongue, you
know, part of a lifelong syndrome.
I remember once when Annie was pregnant with Matt and Reagan was running against
Carter.
I wrote this sermon, and let me see if I can remember exactly.
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Kevin?
Are you listening?
I'm sorry. I lost my train of thought.
By the way, you didn't mention that I wasn't registered to vote to Annie, did
you?
I'm sure Lucy's told her.
I mean, you know women, especially mothers and daughters, they talk.
Yeah, but did you tell her?
It just slipped out, kind of. I'm sorry. I mean, I don't even have an excuse
other than maybe politics makes people say stupid things to each other. Yeah,
stupid.
Politics makes people say stupid things to each other.
Thanks for the sandwich.
What's with you?
Oh, it seems that election time causes all sorts of trouble in all sorts of
relationships. Would you like to talk?
Not really. Would you like to say something to me?
I thought we talked this morning, but evidently I didn't get my point across.
Okay, I'm begging you. Just tell me what it is you want me to do. I'll do it.
Just say what it is.
Hello?
Who's this?
Who is this?
This is Eric Camden. Oh, Simon's dad.
How you doing?
I'm doing fine. How are you doing?
Fine. Are you calling about something in particular?
I'm just call returning.
I got back to the dorm before Simon.
Oh, so Simon's still out?
Yeah, but he's out at the library.
Is he really at the library, or are you just saying it's the library to avoid
telling me where he really is?
He's not out with Georgia.
But he's not at the library?
You almost tricked me.
Simon warned me you might try to do that.
If you want me to give him a message... I would love it if you would tell him to
make sure that he's registered to vote.
He only has another week if he hasn't registered.
No kidding?
Is that just for him or everybody?
It's everyone. Everyone in America has another week to register to vote.
Good to know.
Are you registered to vote? If I'm not, are you going to give me a lecture?
Of course not.
Tell you what, I'll have Simon call.
And you can lecture him if he's not registered. But if he is, you could
him about being out.
Not that he's not at the library.
Bye, Monty.
I really wish you hadn't done that.
I really didn't want Mom to know. I didn't want anyone to know. I was wrong.
shouldn't have said anything.
How would you like it if I told Lucy you didn't vote in the last election?
What are you talking about? I'm talking about how you were so busy driving other
people to the polls and helping Mr. Wexler find where he was supposed to be
the polls closed before you got a chance to vote.
Isn't that right?
Uh... How do you know about Mr. Wexler?
You told me.
I also vote first, and then I help everyone else.
Not in the last election. You intended to vote after dropping Mr. Wexler off,
but you didn't, did you?
I kind of feel like I'm being interrogated, son.
Okay, it's the first time I ever missed voting in a presidential election since
I was 18 years old.
Uh -huh.
Hello.
Hi, Dad.
Oh, hey, Matt. How are you? Tired. I just came off an 18 -hour shift, and I
what you called about.
Well, I just wanted to know if you and Sarah are... Registered, yes.
We're registered to vote.
We're voting.
So, uh... I'm not telling you.
That's okay. It's okay.
Voting's a very personal matter, and this election has... Gotten personal.
personal.
Well, that's just what I was talking about.
Look, you get some sleep, okay?
Okay.
They're registered.
Now all they have to do is vote.
And by the way, I heard Matt snoring.
So, where were we?
You didn't vote. I'm so ashamed of myself.
And shame.
It's so underrated these days. It can be quite useful at times.
Wait.
You said, how would I like it if... If, being the operative word, you
told Lucy.
You told Lucy your little theory about my not voting?
It's not a theory now. It's a fact.
How did you know?
Well... Dad told Kevin this long story about driving this old guy around the
city all day, and he didn't specifically say that he didn't vote, but Kevin's a
cop. He knows when people are covering. He knows Dad didn't vote.
When did Dad have this conversation with Kevin?
I don't know.
Let's get the check. I'm ready to go.
I want dessert.
If you knew, why didn't you tell me? Because it didn't seem important at the
time. Well, that doesn't matter. You're supposed to tell me everything. I'm your
mother. You don't tell me everything.
I tell you practically everything, even things I'm not supposed to tell you,
remember?
And when you're a mother, we'll probably be sharing more and more.
Did you vote in the last election? Not sharing things about elections. Things
about husbands and children and life.
No. Does Dad know?
No, and I'm hoping you won't tell him. I won't tell him. Then don't tell Kevin.
I tell Kevin everything because Kevin tells me everything.
Okay, I'll try not to tell him.
Geez, I hate politics.
So? Who are you going to vote for? That I don't tell anyone.
I'll tell you if you tell me.
No, because you'll just tell Kevin. Come on. Just between mother and daughter?
Just between us?
Of course I'm voting for him.
Aren't you? Yeah.
Who's Lucy voting for? I don't know.
Who's Annie voting for?
She never tells me.
Yeah, I don't think Lucy will tell me either.
Which means?
That they're not voting the way we're voting.
I can't vote.
Why not?
Because you have to be 18 to vote.
Why? Because it's the law.
Well, because you don't know enough to make a good decision until you're 18.
At least that's what people think.
I know lots of things.
Well, so do I. But I still can't vote.
Well, that's a stupid law.
Can't children vote on anything?
Not really. But if we could...
If we could, I bet things would be different.
How?
Tell you what.
If you make up with your brother, I'll read you a book all about voting.
My dad gave it to me when I was a kid.
I'll give you the idea.
I'm smart.
I'm smarter.
No, I'm smarter.
I can make you both smarter than a lot of people.
Come on, I want to read you a story about how the president gets elected.
I missed you.
And our daughter?
How was dinner?
It was interesting.
I missed you, too.
Good night.
So you didn't vote in the last election.
You didn't tell your mother that your father didn't vote in the last election,
did you? It's okay. She didn't vote either. You shouldn't have told her. It
just a theory.
No, it wasn't. You told me you were sure he didn't vote.
Wait a minute. Your mother didn't vote in the last election either?
Nope. It'd hate to be over at their house right now.
I don't think we've had a night like this since Carter defeated Ford.
Hello, what about the night the governor was elected?
Oh, sorry,
how could I forget Terminator night? My apologies.
I wonder how Kevin and Lucy are doing.
Poor Kevin and Lucy, their first election.
Oh, I think they'll make it through.
How I've been feeling like no one's listening to me.
I think we've been feeling that no one's listening to either of us. I think I
know why.
Why? Because we're deaf?
Because all the candidates are talking too much?
I think we've been talking too much. Just talking and talking, and I'm
I'm not going to be doing as much talking.
Really?
Something Martin said has just been...
running running through my head he he practically begged me to just tell him
what to do instead of lecturing him
with so many people talking right now it's hard it's hard to hear anything
not to mention that as parents we love hearing ourselves talk a
lot more than our children love listening
Let's go boys!
I'm not going to school.
Me neither.
We voted not to go. Yeah, we voted.
And we won.
We're not going.
Go upstairs and get dressed. You're going to school.
What's with Sam and David?
They're just a little late getting dressed for school.
Aren't you going to ask me if I have my homework today?
No.
Well, I wrote my paper, and I like it.
Good for you. If you like it, I'll bet I'd like it. You want to know what it's
about? If you want to tell me, I'd love to hear.
Really? Of course.
Don't you want to tell me how much better it is to do my homework than not
it?
Or about some paper you wrote?
Or anything?
Aren't you feeling well?
Is it your heart?
I feel fine.
I'll let you read my paper when I get my grade on it. Well, I look forward to
it.
Morning. Morning.
I don't need a ride from you.
Dad will take me to school. I can't, Martin. You drive Ruthie to school, and
two work out your differences.
Got it.
Heard him loud and clear that time.
So did I.
And before you came down here, he was actually listening to me.
Good. Because I'm sure you have something to say.
I know it's no excuse, but I'm really excited about this election.
It seems like a really important one. Not that they're not all important.
I just can't help voicing my opinion. And it's not just because my dad's a
Marine. It's because I'm me.
I love politics.
I might even want to be a politician someday.
I'm sorry if I made you feel stupid.
Well, I'm smart enough to forgive you and learn my lesson.
From now on, I'm reading the paper, I'm watching the news, and I'm getting
involved.
Four years from now, I'll be ready to vote.
If I know you, four years from now, you'll be ready to run for office.
Who knows?
Maybe I'll start this spring. We're running for sophomore president.
Good. I'll be happy to help you, but only if you need me.
The whole world's a mess.
You know that, don't you?
See? You do have something to say.
Hey, look who's here. Oh, hey.
Yeah, Dad called me.
Dad called me, too.
And then Mary came home, and we got into a discussion. She found out that I
wasn't registered to vote, and now I'm registered.
Yeah, we had the same argument at breakfast.
I never changed my registration when we moved here.
I got no excuse.
I just find the whole thing completely intimidating.
It's an awesome responsibility, choosing a president. So you're undecided.
Oh, no, I'm decided.
No, you're not.
No, you're voting like Mary's voting.
Well, she had the baby for both of us, so... She'll never know if you vote the
other way.
You haven't had a baby yet. You'll see.
You like pudding?
Does pudding refer to one of the candidates, or does that mean lunch at
hospital? Lunch at the hospital. Wait for me.
Yes, I'm registered.
Hey, guess who I ran into?
Your brother. Yeah, we're gonna go have lunch.
No, I guess he never changed his registration when he moved here.
I don't know. He didn't say.
Mary wants to tell you how proud she is that you're registered.
No, she doesn't. She just wants to tell me how to vote. Nice try.
Come on.
So we're registered.
Yep. So now all we've got to do is vote.
Yep. You know, I would never ask you to vote the way I'm voting just because I'm
having your baby, your daughter.
I know you wouldn't, because then you'd have to tell me how you're voting.
Well, okay.
I'll tell you who I'm voting for and tell you why, and then you tell me who
you're voting for and tell me why.
I don't want to.
Well, are you sure you know where your candidate stands on the issues that are
important to you? I don't care. I just think he's cute.
Wait! You're kidding!
Yes, I'm kidding. But we just barely squeaked by voter registration.
Let's not test our relationship any further.
But we are going to vote.
Yes, we are going to vote. Are you sure you don't want to tell me?
I'm absolutely positive.
I'm glad you're issuing orders again. Nice job.
Thanks.
Following the campaign?
Yes.
Undecided?
Not really, no.
He's for better schools, higher pay for teachers, more police officers on the
street, greater national security, lower taxes.
His opponent can't be trusted to do anything other than raise taxes.
Don't you have anything you want to say about the election today?
Yeah, but I was talking to Ruthie, and she has a really interesting
Go ahead.
Well, it's just that if we had the right to vote, if children had the right to
vote, I think the world would be a different place, a better place.
If children voted, we would see to it that every child was fed, that every
child... has a family, or at least a safe place to grow up, we'd make sure
every child had the opportunity to go to school and get an education.
No child would be sacrificed for peace.
No child would be discriminated against because of their race, religion, or
belief. But we don't have the right to vote.
So all we can do is ask that those who do have the right value that
We all need to make sure that those who love us are registered to vote and that
they do go to the polls on November 2nd and cast their ballots.
Our future is at stake.
Vote for me.
Vote for me. Vote for me.
Vote for me.
Vote for me.
Vote for me.
Vote for me.
Vote for me. Vote for me. Vote for me. Vote for me. Vote for me.
Vote for me.
Vote for me.
Vote for me. Vote for me.
Vote. Vote.
Vote. Vote.
