The importance of voting

In honor of this weeks primary election in California, I decided to take a few minutes to talk about civic responsibility. I think voting and exercising your democratic responsibility is so important, that a month and a half ago when my sister turned 18, I even brought home a voter registration card for her.

Perhaps you think I'm here to grand stand for my political party? Not the case. I don't care if we are ideologically polar opposites, it is so important that you express yourself by voting. I am a firm believer in that you can't complain if you don't vote, because you missed your chance to do that when you decided not to vote. More importantly, if a candidate who is begging you to vote for them hasn't had a good voting record then how do you know they will represent you?

So this is a really short entry, basically I just wanted to remind you to take time to visit the polls I don't care how you vote, if you write your best friend in for governor or if you don't even know what the propositions are before researching them. It's your civic responsibility so just do it!
