Voting

I understand at the last election a lot of people didn’t bother to vote.

In my opinion, that’s just, plain wrong. Being able to vote for our laws and officials is a privilege people in many countries don’t have.

Before the USA was founded most people had no say about who ran their countries or the laws the rulers enacted. But we do have that privilege, thanks to many people who fought and died for it.

Sometimes it seems we’re choosing the lesser of two evils, but even then, at least we have the right to make that choice.

Please, please, please do vote even if you disagree with me. 

As my bumper sticker says, “If you don’t vote, don’t whine.”
