"Bad politicians are sent to Washington by good people who don't vote"
-William Simon
I am one of those firm believers that everyone should vote. I believe its your civic duty. To the people who say that their vote does not matter, I can relate I am a Democrat in arguably the reddest state in America, Utah. I wonder if all the people who use this excuse not to vote, actually voted, what kind of change we could see. Your vote does matter, it gives you a voice. I think our forefathers, civil rights leaders, and woman's suffrage leaders would be truly disgusted with our current voter turnout. People need to know their history in order to respect it. People in history have struggled, been persecuted, and killed for every Americans right to vote. Yet, we have been a country of apathy. We cannot take for granted the rights that people before have fought and died for. No matter what your political affiliation, you must vote! Make your voice heard and be a part of history on NOV. 4. If you cant make it on the 4th, vote early, no more excuses! Find your polling place and VOTE!
