Voting Counts

Voting is one of the most important things people can do as a citizen of the United States of America. And if one of my friends wouldn’t want to vote for some reason that they have I would try and convince them. I would tell them “what’s wrong with you, you have the privilege to create history” “and you’re going to waste it by not voting”. You can use this privilege that you have to choose your governors, who can represent your state and control what goes on with your state for a few years. I would also tell them that they can vote to choose which person they would want to become their mayor for their town or city. They can even vote for the man or woman to represent them in congress by voting for which person to become a senator of their state. Also, that they can choose the person who gets to have the highest ranked office in our country this is being the president. And that the person that they voted for to become president would represent our country during world events like the G8 or G20 and to change or create laws that they see in their own views. And that they can choose on which laws can get passed in their state. If my friend wouldn’t vote I would also tell him then that they shouldn’t complain on the consequences that they don’t vote for the propositions that would be put on the ballot. Like if should animals that are going to be turned to food like chickens, should be caged in small cages or large ones. And if these animals should be free ranged or caged at all. That is what I would tell my friend if they decided not to vote, just because they didn’t want to.
