I think we just need a change to push the nation in another direction." DENNIS JOE QUINN Pastor "I probably will not vote because I live out-of-town and I have to be at work early." DONNA COSBERG Certified Nursing Assistant "No, I don't plan to vote because I don't want to get involved in all that stuff." BARRY WYLIE Student, Athens Tech "No, I don't think so.
