Without a Voice the Non Voter

“I don’t believe it matters if I vote,” those are your exact words and that’s an exact quote. Many have died for you to have that right; their diligence and sacrifices helped win the fight. If you don’t vote how can you complain? You vent about the political system but it’s all in vain. You say: “they don’t really care about us!” Electing someone who does is what we need to discuss. What if half our voices were never heard? It would be just as sad if it was only one third. You say that you don’t like the candidate, but by not voting you have sealed your own fate. It’s not whether the candidate has your approval; if they ignore the issues voting can force their removal. Homelessness, hopelessness and so much despair; we all can agree that the system’s unfair. Our situation isn’t going to change over night, but your voice must be heard so exercise your right! It’s called a right but it’s more like an obligation; how else will they hear about all of our frustration? By simply voting we can empower our community; there is strength in numbers so there has to be unity. “Keep hope alive” says Reverend Jesse Jackson; our fight is not over it has only just begun. Voting helps us to keep hope alive; all we want is for our families to thrive If you don’t vote you are “without a voice,” become a voter there is no other choice!
