A land based on the premise that all people are created equally and endowed with certain inalienable rights. Among these rights is the right to vote.
This is a right guaranteed to every American citizen, be they citizen by birth, or citizen by naturalization, still this is a guaranteed right.
The freedom to vote is something that many Americans paid the ultimate sacrifice for. We are not just speaking of our brave men and women in uniform, but also the heroes of the Civil Rights Movement, Women's Suffrage, and even the modern movements of Black Lives Matter, MeToo, and many others. Millions of people fought and died for the sake of people like you and I having the right to vote. In a sense, voting is more than a right, it is an obligation, the obligation to honor the sacrifice of those who gave their lives for us. The best was to honor those legacies, is to exercise your right to vote.
Every 4 years we are blessed with the right to elect the President of the United States of America, the indisputable leader of the free world. Whether you vote Republican, Democrat, or somewhere in between, it is still an honor to take part in the process of electing the most powerful person in the world. In 2016, America elected Donald J Trump to be the 45th President of the United States of America. There will not be another Presidential Election until 2020. This year, we will have the opportunity to vote in the Mid-Term Elections, which many believe are more important than electing the President. During the Mid-Term elections, several seats in the House of Representatives and the Senate are up fro grabs. Though the President is said to be the most powerful man in the world, His power is restricted to the limits established and enforced by Congress. Checks and Balances, no one man will have total power over America. So important are the Mid-Term election that the outcome can make or break the position of the President of the United States.
So what stops people from exercising their right to vote? Some claim transportation to be an issue. If that is the case, there are several people willing to help you get to the polls to vote. Some believe their vote will not count. To that, I say "Nonsense". The only vote that truly doesn't count in America is the vote that was never cast. Finally there are those who are simply not registered to vote.
