Voting

I really don’t know any of my friends that don’t want to vote but what I would say to one of my friends that didn’t want to vote is..why wouldn’t you want to vote. In a way it’s a chance to get your voice heard and have some of your decisions taken seriously. Im going to vote because during the last election I wasn’t old enough and I didn get a chance to be apart of history when Barack Obama was elected for president. I would have really liked to be apart of that. Don’t you want to at least have a say in who the next president is going to be if Obama doesn’t do his job properly. Don’t you want to be able to say that’s who I voted for and that’s what I wanted to happen in the community and in the country. There really is no reason for you not to vote unless you really don’t care what happens to you or your community. Do you really want people deciding how your going to live in this community, state, country. I think its important for you to vote because maybe your vote could be the deciding vote in another election or a prop that would potentially be passed or wouldn’t be passed. Just think of the movie Swing Vote when Kevin Caustner was the last man in the country to vote and all the media and tv news ancors came to his house to ask him why he didn’t vote. If something like that really did happen would you really want to be the last person in the country that hasn’t voted yet.
