How many Americans believe that by voting they have fulfilled their civic duty?

Update:

@LIBERALS SEQUESTERED FROM TRUTH: if you turn your decisions over Big Daddy, do you really have any decisions? Also, what exactly are you saying, that you're opposed to the democratic process?

@ SUGAR BEAR: that makes sense.

Update 2:

When you hear about the digital voting booth scandals, is it not as disenfranchising as it is enlightening? I mean aside from the fact that the existence of an 'anonymously appointed' electoral college pretty much dis-proves all our dellusions of being a functional democratic society, doesn't the fact that nobody actually KNOWS who is tallying up the vote, or where the data is actually being stored throw up a big red flag?

    If all one person does is votes, that's a move in the right direction. Too many qualified people don't bother. I vote and make contributions and have several charities and give to disasters, but I'm happy to see someone vote, period.

    I believe I have fulfilled One (1) of my civic duties by voting

    The only reason I vote is for those jackasses who say "If you don't vote, you have no right to complain about the way things are." There, I participated in your farcical ceremony, now listen to me rant for a while.

    Voting is a right, and we'd better participate in it while we still can, and vote for those that still believe in the process.

    Liberals own that. They vote to turn all their decisions over to the big daddy gov.
