It's a duty.
It's a right.
It's a privilege.
It's a responsibility.
Exercise your franchise. There may be contested elections where you live, there might be important referendums on the ballot. Even if it seems like there's nothing doing, vote anyway. Make your voice heard. Do your duty. Vote.
Of course I'll vote. I always do. But I miss the lever machines like crazy and will never get used to this asinine new system!
ReplyDeleteHA - I voted even though I had to go to three different schools to do it and I had the STOMACH FLU. I was a goddamned good citizen that day.
ReplyDeleteOr don't complain about the government!!
ReplyDeleteI always vote, but today I didn't because I didn't even know what was on the ballot. And in fact there weren't even any politicians out near our polling places, or placards posted nearby, or anything. What's with that?
ReplyDeleteLooks like someone was listening to you! Yay!! ; ) (Here from the Stirrup Queen's 11-11-11 post & comment thread.)
ReplyDeleteYes! Those of us who can't vote cannot believe the ease with which people ignore this precious right.
