I don't care who you are voting for, as long as you recognize your right as an American citizen to go and vote. That being said, I cast my vote for John McCain.
I was sitting in my English class this morning, and there were five people in there who have decided to not vote, because... "One vote won't make any difference" (Maybe I'm crazy, but there were 5 votes in my English class that were not accounted for). There are 20 people in my class, 5 out of 20 people didn't vote. That's 25 % of my class? Lets say there's 1000 people on campus for the 8 am classes...(of the voting age) 5 people out of ever 20 person class decided not to vote... that 400 people... and it goes on and on and well, you get the picture. The point is, your vote does count! If we all had that apathetic, lazy mentality then we would definitely not still hold this unique ability to vote for who we feel is the most apt to lead our country.
This just sickens me to think that some people are too lazy to go and cast a vote every FOUR years. 'its such an inconvenience'... Its going to be an even bigger inconvenience when your whole right is taken away... Its one day every...1,460 days (give or take a few) you can't take ONE day for that?
It also bothers me that someone who doesn't vote, still feels as if they have the right to state their opinion on who should've or shouldn't of won. Try to start debates and arguments on why they think someone should've won. They didn't feel the need to state their opinion by voting, so why feel the need to vocalize then. Its too late. Your opinion is null and void in my book.
All I am saying, vote for who you feel will lead this country the best. I am not going to try to sway your ideology. I pray you've done your research, I trust you're not going along with the bandwagon method of voting.
This is such a critical time in our lives. Take that into consideration, please go out and vote.
