Vote

Vote!!

Exercise your power!

For WE THE PEOPLE are the government!!

Do not put your rights in a state of deferment

Some may say, 'our votes don't count.  So, what's the use?'

Many feel our voting system stinks

That's just what certain people want us to think

Here's an example of why you should vote

Let's say you live in a town where there are forty-five percent of German-Americans, and fifty percent of African-Americans

You have two people running for mayor

If forty out of forty-five percent of the German-American community votes for the mayor they want, and if only twenty-five out of fifty percent of the African-American community votes for the one they want, whoever the German-American community votes for, will win by a landslide!

Although there are more African-Americans within the town, the German-American community vote out numbers the African-American community vote

Therefore, who do you think the mayor will please the most?

He/she will please the German-American community, before he/she pleases the African-American community

Why not?

After all, it was the German-American community that put the mayor, who they wanted in office

It shouldn't be that way, but in reality.  It is that way!

That's why it is so important to vote!

We all know that some politicians do not always keep their promise, or do the job they are supposed to do, once they're in office 

Not all politicians represent the people

That's the power of voting

Getting that person out of office, who are not doing the job or representing the people!

You vote someone else in, who you think may do the job and represent the people!

So, don't let your power go to waste!!

Vote and let us all make a difference for a BETTER GOVERNMENT!
