This is my fundamental right and my forefathers fought tirelessly to get us here. I say to all particularly black people get out and vote!!!!!!!!!!! There is no room for procrastination and complacency. This is BARACKS TIME and let us not loose sight of the history about to be made. So sit,stand,lean and even sleep if you have to we must cast our votes or take whatever we get later. I would wait days (bring some snacks along) if needs be.

My boss, my colleagues and everyone at work will be going to the polls around 6 am, and the company I work for is huge. So many people I know are volunteering for the Obama campaign. I have never seen anything like this. There is a collective understanding in this country that nothing is more important than voting on Tuesday, and that we must take this country back and put it on the right track. The alternative is frightening and unacceptable. The American people are emphatic about a real change in the white house and that means Obama and Biden as the winning ticket.

It was worth every minute. This is one of the most important elections of our generation. Everybody needs to vote. I waited in line for 2 hours, during early voting, to vote for Barack Obama.

If McCain and Obama could campaign until midnight for the past three nights coverng 7 states a day, I can wait for 8 to 12 hours to vote.

The Republicans fixed the election for Bush in 2000 and in 2004. If the Republicans fix the election for McCain/Palin in 2008, I'm moving to Canada! I will stand in line for as long as it takes.

No one complained, no one got out of line, no one was disorderly. I would have stood in line five more hours to cast our votes for the next president of this great country, Barack Obama. There are people in this country who, at this very moment, are trying to suppress the vote. If they can't do it with a poll tax or literacy test, they'll do it with lies and dirty tricks. Voting is my right and my privilege, and I will stand in line for as long as it takes to make my voice heard.

Luckily in Oregon we have mail in ballots, so I voted in my own home and dropped it in the mailbox. WHY is this such a scary proposition for elections all over the country? The answer is the Republicans are too scared that they would never win again. Barack the Vote!!! I would wait as long as it took if I had to.
