I encourage ANYONE who is not regstered to vote to do so, no matter which party you register for. You may register to vote at your local elections office, or online through either the FEC (Federal Election Commission's website) or through either the Democratic or Republican National Committee's websites. By law, the Democraic and Republican websites MUST give you a choice on which political party you wish to register with. You don't have to register for a political party, but it'll make it a lot easier when the primaries come around in early 2008. Please, please register, even if your views aren't reflected here.
Don't know which political party you should associate with? Visit the Democratic and Republican websites and see where they stand. You don't have to agree with every issue, just visit each one to get an overall feel by viewing each parties Platorms and History. And please, don't just say "My wife / husband / dad / mom / brother / sister is a Democrat / Republican / Independent, so I'll just vote that way. Believe me, they'll respect you more if you form your own views. Plus, you'll have interesting conversations on holidays!

OR
http://www.rnc.org/ - Republican Party website
Don't agree with either? Try the Independent Party

Remember, in 2006, some Governors, 33 Senators, and ALL the Representatives will be up for re-election. Register now and send a message next November that you either support change, or reaffirm the current course, depending on how you vote.
