I have voted in every election that I have been qualified to vote in since I turned 18.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I was one of the first 18-year-olds in the United States elected to public office right after 18-year-olds got the right to vote back in the early '70s. I ran for the Board of Education.
I started out as a 16 year old registering people to vote.
I have voted for a Republican for president ever since I was voting and since I was 18 years old.
My parents elected me president of the family when I was 4. We actually had an election every year, and I always won. I'm an only child, and I could count on my mother's vote.
As I said, I spent most of my adult life thinking I didn't have a vote, and therefore that what I thought didn't matter.
Not even my parents know how I vote.
I've been in a lot of elections.
I vote in every general election, but I'm not a party member or an ideologue. I've never told anyone who I've voted for.
I am an immigrant with a Green Card and, therefore, I am not eligible to vote in a federal election.
In the land of my birth I cannot vote, whereas a young person of eighteen can vote. And why? Because he or she possesses that wonderful biological attribute - a white skin.
