We're introducing an updated Assault Weapons Ban for one reason: so that after every mass shooting with a military-style assault weapon, the American people will know that a tool to reduce these massacres is sitting in the Senate, ready for debate and a vote. This bill won't stop every mass shooting, but it will begin removing these weapons of war from our streets. The first Assault Weapons Ban was just starting to show an effect when the NRA stymied its reauthorization in 2004. Yes, it will be a long process to reduce the massive supply of these assault weapons in our country, but we've got to start somewhere. To those who say now isn't the time, they're right-we should have extended the original ban 13 years ago, before hundreds more Americans were murdered with these weapons of war. To my colleagues in Congress, I say do your job. (Dianne Feinstein)
People who vote against this today are voting against me and I will not forget. View quote
Ted Stevens
Mouthpiece for a racist, imperialistic American foreign policy controlled by generals and corporate elites. Black people did not vote for Barack Obama for him to bomb an African country, Libya. They elected him to stand up like a man against the forces of imperialism. They voted for him to bail out Harlem, where there is 50 percent Black male unemployment, like they bailed out Wall Street.

When you put a tiny and despised minority up for a popular vote, the minority usually loses. View quote
Andrew Sullivan
In America, we vote, we decide as a group of people what our policies are, and that's the way we do business. We don't let violence make those determinations for us. View quote

Vote for EL Wisty and lovely nude ladies will come and dance with you. View quote
Peter Cook
I'd vote for any party that would say "I won't allow people to throw garbage all over me." But none of the parties seem to be particularly interested. View quote
Peter Cook
I've had some wonderful ideas for getting the dominating going. I've got some extremely subtle advertising slogans that should get the public behind us. Things like "Vote for EL Wisty and lovely nude ladies will come and dance with you." It's a complete lie, of course, but you can't afford to be too scrupulous if you're going to dominate the world.

Obamacare, without a single Republican vote, cut $700 billion out of Medicare. View quote
Louie Gohmert
I wasn't tempted to vote for Bush, but I understand why people did... because he obviously had integrity. It was a terrible kind of integrity, but he does what he says and he means what he says. And what he says is terrible and what he does is terrible, but he's consistent. View quote
John Perry Barlow
The definition of throwing your vote away is to go into that voting booth and vote for one of two parties that will not change the direction this country's going in. (Bob Barr)
We have now successfully enlisted the aid of many groups of theoretically anti-communist people, all supporting those very causes which lead directly to victory for the Party. These students will be of great value in creating political upheaval here in the next few years. Though they may not vote themselves, they will do a great part of the work for the candidates we shall endorse. View quote
George Alec Effinger
To attend a place of worship, to abstain from spirits, to read a serious newspaper and put money in the savings bank, was in 1840 as good an ideal as could be set before a man. To pursue it gave him rank as a citizen, the promise of a vote, and a share in a solid civilization. View quote
G. M. Young
The old adage about giving a man a fish versus teaching him how to fish has been updated by a reader: Give a man a fish and he will ask for tartar sauce and French fries! Moreover, some politician who wants his vote will declare all these things to be among his 'basic rights.' View quote
Thomas Sowell
As far as party primaries are concerned, both Republican and Democratic Party primaries are dominated by the most zealous voters, whose views may not reflect the views of most members of their own respective parties, much less the views of those who are going to vote in the November general election. In recent times, each election year has seen each party's nominee selected - or at least subject to veto - by its most extreme wing and then forced to try to move back to the center before the general election. This can only undermine the public's confidence in the integrity of the candidates of both parties. View quote
Thomas Sowell
Currencies do not vote. View quote
George Goodman
Well, I couldn't do the day-to-day stuff of being a politician or anything, but I just think everybody should have an opinion and everybody should vote, and that's what we're built on. View quote
Toby Keith
I went to vote once, but I got too scared. I couldn't decide whom to vote for. View quote
Andy Warhol
People who own property feel a sense of ownership in their future and their society. They study, save, work, strive and vote. And people trapped in a culture of tenancy do not. View quote
Henry Louis Gates
Some say we should not engage in activism. Instead we should leave everything to our politicians and just vote for a change instead. But what do we do when there is no political will? What do we do when the politics needed are nowhere in sight? View quote
Greta Thunberg
You must see the persons who are in charge - persons you can punish or vote for. (Joschka Fischer)
I've always been opposed myself to prisoners having the vote. View quote
William Hague
Everything in our foreign and domestic policy is a question of issue for the American people to vote on. View quote
John Dingell
I'm an utterly orthodox feminist in the political or social sense: I want equal rights for women, period, and I vote that way. I support social programs that help women and children; I'm pro-choice, in favor of anything that makes it easier for women to raise their kids, with or without men, in conventional or unconventional family units. View quote
Elizabeth Hand
Governments tend to expand their power to the point that they do harm. In SurvivalBlog, I often warn of the insidious tyranny of the Nanny State... ...If the state where you live becomes oppressive, then don't hesitate to relocate. Vote with your feet! View quote
