V = Vote

Ever heard “I don’t vote because my vote doesn’t count anyway” said when asked to register to vote or to cast a ballot?  If you haven’t, you probably have not asked someone to vote for a particular issue or person.  However, this excuse/reason is heard over and over.
Let me say, right to the point, Voting is a privilege that many right here in the United States do not have.  Many things are done to make voting unavailable to certain populations, certain parties, certain races.  This makes it even more important that those who can vote do so.  Your vote has to speak for you and for those who share your beliefs and values when they cannot speak for themselves.
I will not presume to sway you to vote one way or another or for one political party or another.  I simply beg you to exercise your right to vote and to do so without fail.  When we do not vote, we give up the right to speak about laws, enactments, heads of the government, Congress, our representatives, our city council people, everyone elected to an office.  Our not voting implies consent  to what anyone elected does.  Worse, not voting relates to an apathy that says, “Who cares?”
Please VOTE!  Show you care, you want to help create and enact laws and governance that is fair to all.  

VOTE AND LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD!


EVERY VOTE COUNTS
