Tags: apathy, fixed election, my vote doesnt count, voting, waste of time

Hey everyone,

I am coming across a real issue when it comes to talking to people about voting. It seems that people of my generation ( i am 23 ) feel as if their vote does not count. The responses are varied but the message is the same...i hear things like: "Its all fixed anyway", " I voted for kerry and look what happened", "i dont care and its a waste of my time". I am so frustrated by the apathy of some people that i am so lost on what to do. so the question posed is this: how do you mobilize people to get out there and vote when no matter what you say they think voting is hopeless, pointless, and a waste of time?

I welcome any thoughts and comments on the issue
