Over 200 years ago we've been given the right to be heard as equals and allowed to vote for the best leader for our country. Futile systems, monarchys and dictatorships limit human rights and claim their right to power.
When you register as a democrat,republican,etc, do you choose it because your family chose it or should you know what it means to be,represent and support that party name?Should we vote blindly in support of our party name?
There are other,more repressed countries in the world who have just started having a democracy and a voting privilage.Though they and their families are threated to be put to death if they show up to vote these countries still have a 98% voting attendance rate. Americas turnout is less than 40%. Why? Before the sixties movement America also had a 98% voting attendance record thus producing such leaders as Lincoln,Truman,and Kennedy. Nixon,Regan,and The Bush's follow the decline of voters. Do you feel your 1 vote doesn't count?Why?
