Why Is It Important For You To Vote

     Let's skip over all the injustices committed against native americans, blacks, latinos, and asians, because clearly that's not important to some of you. You don't live in the past right? Let's talk now and the future, which affects you and only you.

     If you're receiving food stamps you probably don't have the time to vote. You probably have children, and no one to watch them. If you're a hardworking independent woman, you probably don't have time to vote. You have to show your dedication. If you're a hard labor working male, the politicians don't understand you, and you're not going to favor neither liar. Here's the thing to all of these excuses: they are all perpetual to the cycle you're trapped in.

     The mom who needs assistance, you need to vote. They called Barack Obama the "Food Stamp" president. Why would they call him that? America had food stamps before him. By voting, mentally, you're taking responsibility. Imagine taking control of who gets voted into office. Imagine the person you vote for gets voted into office. Even if the person you vote for loses, your vote is a voice. 

     When they count the votes, and they here the people chose someone someone that favors people like you, that gives the base more encouragement to keep pushing. So imagine that kid of yours watches you vote. That kid says, "Mom, I'm going to be a politician so you can vote for me." That one kid goes on to perform well in school, so that he can learn law and politics. Multiply that kid times 20 of his classmates. They begin a chain of behaviors that lead them into health, finance, economics, science, and more. They create a network, and they build their own political party. Just imagine.

     How about the hard workers out there. They commit more to their jobs than to their votes, rights, and self. You miss out on opportunities that favor you. Healthcare Reform helped 10 million Americans get health insurance. How many of those 10 million Americans voted? How many of them voted for Barack Obama? How many supported his law after a slight derailment likely caused by Republicans?

     Friday, Real Time with Bill Maher had guest David Frum. He made statements, likely promoted by Republican politics and not his own research, about Healthcare Reform that he got completely wrong. He had to admit to that. What is an admission, when you've already influenced millions of Americans, who still believe your wrong words? If he got it wrong, then why are politicians still running on the same propaganda?

     Hardworking Americans need to vote. Your company threatens you all the time, in all sorts of ways. That's an example of what they're trying to do politically. They're stripping you of your rights. This past summer, corporations wanted to have unlimited spending on elections. The Supreme Court supported that effort. They are not favoring the people. Corporations are exploiting a loophole that corporations are people, when really, they are wealthy stakeholders and some people.

     We have to be smarter. Set the example for the children that come behind us, and align politician's goals with those of the people. "We the People" is what it's about. Go out there and vote.
