            This election has received tremendous coverage with respect to registering to vote, the candidates’ positions, and voting in general.  Many people are not aware of the candidates’ positions on issues on their ballot.  This presents a huge problem, especially since there are critical issues involved, and the candidates will affect these issues and our country, either positively or negatively.  Because of the lack of familiarity with issues, constituents may use this as an excuse not to vote – and voting is imperative for our country, our freedom, and our Constitution. 

            Voting is our privilege to voice our concerns and beliefs.  Instead of ranting about issues and candidates on social media, we all have the opportunity to change where our country is and do something about the things we are not happy with.  One vote CAN, DOES, and WILL make a difference toward our beliefs.  All it truly takes is one vote.  Every election, we are faced with local, state, and national issues, and we have the power to make a statement.  Regardless of whether you are Left, Right, Up, Down, or in the Middle, the political beliefs that are important to you are important enough for you to practice.  We have put people in positions anywhere from two to six years – your decision to vote will ensure those people will get done what they have said, or get voted out.
