I’m proud to say that I have voted in every election since my eighteenth birthday. I’m not proud to say I have not always been an informed voter. So many issues, this candidate promises that, that candidate promises this. It’s enough to drive you crazy.However voting is the most important duty an American citizen has.
Voting. It’s how we make our voices heard. It’s how we tell our elected officials what we want the giovernment to do for us. It’s what government by the people, for the people and all that is about.
When I was younger I tried to be a moderate. I tried to listen to each candidate and judge his or her sincerity. I tried to pick the best “man” for the job.
Now I’m older and I’ve come to a realization. People lie to get elected. The “man” will say what ever it takes to get my vote.”He” will say what ever it takes to win my trust and when elected “he” only listens to his own party.
Now I know. Now I finally realize. It’s not the “man” that’s important. It’s the party. Democrat, republican or even the green party...
