Way back when our country began, only white males who owned property were allowed to vote. There are those who would like to see that policy return, but thankfully the right to vote is now enshrined in the US Constitution and several amendments. ALL citizens who have reached the age of eighteen, have the right to vote.
Election Day is just a couple of months away and we are seeing more and more political advertising. Who should we vote for? Does it even matter? Yes, it matters a lot, and the good citizens will look at the issues and then make choices. Now is a good time to start thinking about it. Don't wait until the last minute to make these important decisions.
It's my right. I can vote or I can stay home. Why would you choose the latter? We can decide who our senators and congresspeople will be. We can decide who will be our governor. Think about it. We have the power. Together we can do some incredible things. So many parts of the world don't have such power. Why would we want to throw it away? This year's presidential race gets so much attention that we sometimes forget about the other matters, but they all are important.
I cannot stress this enough. If you truly care about your community, your state, your nation, get out there and let your voice be heard. VOTE! There really is a LOT at stake.
