Welcome to my RTTS blog page!
Vote!
November 4 is just a few days away. What I cannot believe is that during the last presidential election only 59.6%, or 122 million people, voted (out of 204 million eligible voters).
As a result of low voter turnout in 2004 and previous presidential elections, the United States is ranked near the bottom of 172 countries in terms of voter participation rates (our ranking is 139).
We talk about freedom and liberty but we do not take advantage of one of the greatest privileges we have.
So while I am a huge supporter of one of the candidates, I do not care about who you vote for, I just am passionate that you VOTE. Get up early or leave work at 5:00 for once or file an early voting form, but most importantly find an hour during the day where you can cast your vote. It will make you part of the process and it does make a difference, so get out there and VOTE!!!!
