On Super Tuesday

Vote.

Vote because we have been given the right.

Vote because it CAN make a difference.

I don't care if you're Republican or Democrat or Libertarian or part of the Green Party, just vote.

Vote because people fought for women and African Americans to even have the ability. Vote because our country is a democracy and it's your duty to use that ability to it's fullest potential.

Vote because we live in a time of so much suffering and things that have gone terribly wrong, but we also live in a time more advanced than that of our ancestors. In 1920, women were given the right to vote. That means most of our Grandmothers were born in a time when women were not allowed to tell the government their opinions. In 1960, African Americans were finally allotted full suffrage.

1960. The majority of our parents grew up in a world where black people were denied the right to vote.

Now, in the United States of America, we live in a time where the only people who cannot vote are the very young, and the young who can vote are coming out in record numbers. Join the youth-- Vote.

Vote because it makes you strong and it makes you smile and the primaries ARE consequential. Don't leave it up to everyone else. Read the newspaper, make up your mind, vote. Vote for yourself and vote for your country and vote for your children and vote for anything and everything else.

Vote because it's important to care, and it's immature to pretend you don't. Vote because controversy is okay and even necessary. Vote because speaking your mind means something and keeping quiet doesn't.

Vote because I heard a 38 year old woman on the radio who made the point that she has had either a Bush or a Clinton on the Presidential ticket every single race since she was old enough to cast a ballot. That is no longer a Democracy.

Vote because we need change or because you want things to stay the same. Vote because you believe in something and you're willing to stand in line-- because the lines mean that there are people out there that care just as much as you do, and maybe more. But actually, don't let them care more... push the line further, up the ante, make the world come up to you.

Vote.
