decisions are made by those who show up
November 2, 2008 - 4:06 PM
November 4th is just around the corner and millions upon millions of Americans will converge on their designated polling places and cast a vote for the next President of the United States. With all the turmoil in the world, the war, the economic meltdown, and the coming recession, the significance of this election hasn't escaped anyone's notice. Every American, Man, Woman, child, Black, White, Asian, Jewish, Catholic, and Atheist alike will be looking to the next president to guide us.
Democracy is all about compromise, about working together and solving differences, about everyone's voice being heard. There are too many people who live in countries which don't allow their citizens to vote, don't allow woman to vote, that don't allow the press the freedom to write what they want, or people to say what they think.
I am not going to tell you who to vote for, everyone needs to make that decision themselves but let me tell you this. I don't care if you're a Republican or Democrat, an Independent or Libertarian. I don't care if you pray to God or Allah, praise the Buddha or worship Satan. I don't care if your first choice didn't make it to their parties primary, or isn't on the ballot.
Decisions are made by those who show up. Vote.
