(ShakeelahFinney) Voting Against the World


 * Today many people take voting for granted by choosing not to vote at all. Yes, for many reasons, which may be significant but they are not as important as the reason why, they should vote. What our world has become is the cause of our actions. Are you satisfied with the outcome? If you feel that you have the right to complain or put the blame on someone but have yet to participate in an election when you are of age you are as much as the reason why your wants/necessities are not provided for, so you can put the blame on no one other than yourself. A closed mouth won’t get fed. You have to work for what you want you and let your voice be heard. That is exactly why you should vote, so that YOUR voice can be heard. Make a difference and create your own future. If you are not willing to vote than you have no authority in criticizing those elected. You didn’t speak while it mattered so why complain when it doesn’t? Don’t be sorry. Be satisfied. **

 * Getting others to vote may be easier than you think. Bringing your friends with you may get them to vote. Many people don’t feel comfortable going by themselves mainly because of the difficult process. So what better time to get together and be at each other’s sides for the difficult situations in life? Or if you get really involved maybe as a society we can change the voting process all together. Another way more people may be interested in voting is if there was a attainable reward such as everybody whom voted is entered into a contest where they can win something. Even taking things away from people can influence them to vote. If the government stressed voting a little bit more we may raise the participation rate for elections all around the world. **
