Obama or McCain? You make the choice
The end of this crazy mess called the political process for presidency is almost over. Both candidates have given everything to their respected political parties. Now it is up to you to decide who is the best choice for you.
Whether you are poor or rich we all need to be a part of this process. With the times of financial instability, the war in Iraq, the growing cost of health care, the lack of good schools in your neighborhoods, the environment, their needs to be change. As much of what you hear and read about the times think about what really affects you on a daily basis and vote for what matter to you and not what everyone else in the media is telling you.
Negative press is quite popular, that is what sells media right? This past few week all we hear about is the financial crisis because in essence it affects everyone. However when the two political parties start to use negative criticism toward one another it just smells fowl to me. With all of the problems are country faces we as people allow the Republican and Democrats to not get along in government because we are always shifting our minds on who is better suited to fix America.
That is why if you want change on November fourth then you better take some accountability and make change. People help government run more efficient when there is a larger voice out there calling the shots. We need more people to get registered and get to vote. Even if that means getting absentee ballots or however your state allows you to vote despite being a late voter. Do not miss this opportunity in this country to really make a difference.
People like George W Bush get into office because not enough people vote, even thou we did in 2000 when Gore did win the popular vote but not the electoral vote. Even in that election the voter turnout was only about fifty percent of registered voters that is just not good enough.
If the national primaries have shown us anything this past year the polls are showing more people are involved. Although, we all should take some responsibility as citizens to finish what we started and that is change for our country.
I am not here to pull you one way or the other all I am saying is make sure you make your voice count. I hear still that there are people out there that do not care to vote because of either a lack of confidence in the political process as a whole or their morals or perhaps their own values are against voting all together. Too those people I respect your decision and moral obligations but even you are at stake right now and I am quite sure your leaders of faith would not turn on you when the rest of this country is relying on you to make a choice. Everyone has a right not to vote but in this election it maybe crucial to have as many voters as possible. Do the right thing for you is all I am saying?
