    "I proudly entered to VOTE wearing my "IMPEACH BUSH AND CHENEY" shirt."

    In most places, no one, including voters, is allowed into the polling place with any campaign material visible nor are they allowed to discuss politics in the polling place. What you were doing could be viewed as campaigning inside the boundary, which is not allowed.
