Since our schools don’t teach this stuff, this is what the conventions are all about.
This week and next, Americans will conduct the most intense stage in the presidential election process. The 2012 Republican National Convention is in progress in Tampa, FL until Thursday, August 30 and the Democrats will convene in Charlotte, NC from September 4 through 6. The conventions’ primary purpose is to nominate the parties’ presidential and vice presidential candidates for the November election. However, there are other goals as well.
Please be sure that you are registered and that you vote. Voter registration is painless. Forms are available in many locations –government offices, public libraries, schools, and others. You can even register online. Election Day is November 6.
MAKE SURE YOU KNOW YOUR STATE’S VOTER ID RULES.
THE REPUBLICANS DON’T WANT YOU TO VOTE.

Actually Republicans want every legal citizen still alive tovote once and only once per election. Democrats prefer to disregard the legal, citizen, alive and only once qualifications.
If you people want the rest of us to fall for that crap, you really need to stop saying otherwise out loud in public.
