Ap Gov't Survey

[Bhajan_preet]

Alright guys, I'm doing a survey for my AP Government Class about everyone's involvement in politics, and I thought it'd be a great way to get a random sample of people by putting it online :s This is actually part of my exam, so your help will be much appreciated!

You'll probably want to be American, or else you might a have a trickier time with a few of the questions (not that you can do anything about that right now... lol). Also, if you guys feel uncomfortable about voicing your political views, etc, in public, just PM your survey results. Anyway, just fill in the blanks and go at it. Thanks in advance, guys!
