Check out Oprah today, Wed Sept 29, encouraging voting

Not a partisan show, I've just seen the first few minutes and I was delighted with Drew Barrymore's presentation on why voting is so important.

She speaks about it from a right to vote point of view, not go vote for this or that candidate.

It sounds just a good to this Canadian woman, on why my country needs to vote as it will for you.

Don't miss it. Set your tapes. It's a good one to watch with your teens, at least the little bit I heard so far.

Educate your kids to use their right to vote.

Please anybody answering in here, this thread isn't about partisan issues, it's about the need to use the right to vote which is one of the freedoms both Canada and the USA and other free countries have.

If we don't teach our kids why it's so important, that they vote, we will do a major disservice to our country.

I have to agree. I only wish Canadians would get their act together and vote when its time to vote. Its a sad state of affairs when we don't have enough interest in our country to vote.
