Are You Registered To Vote?

posted in news |

My sister had this on her site at The Pond and tagged me. I think I would’ve shared it even if she hadn’t tagged me because I really do think it is important.

I don’t really talk much politics and I believe everyone has a right to their own opinion. However, everyone in the United States also has a right to vote. Please don’t tell me you’re one of those people that sits around complaining about the administration, or the economy, or the war, or anything else affecting our lives, but you don’t take advantage of your right to vote. Voting is so simple and yet, one of the most important events we can take part in. I don’t just vote in the big presidential elections, but I also vote in local elections that affect my daughter’s education, our property taxes, our utility bills, etc. and so should you.

This is a great video.

If the deadline in your state hasn’t all ready passed, I know it has here in Texas, please make sure to register to vote.

Here in the US we forget how great it is to have the right to vote - there are many places in this world where people do not have a say in who is in charge of their government. I always vote!

I am registered also. I wish I could vote today. I’m pretty sure the next 3 weeks is not going to change many voters minds.

I’m registered to vote and still waiting on my absentee ballot to come in the mail. I don’t know what’s up with it. Anyway, I think it’s great that you pointed out the importance of local elections in your post. Lots of people think about voting as only voting for president, which in a lot of places may not even be relevant because of the electoral college. But voting for local office/propositions/measures is really important and people should take the time to research them and vote on those issues because they can affect you more than the big national issues.
