Voting

Since when has the opportunity to vote become a none mother fucking factor? Apparently its not important to many individuals, unless a Black man is running for President. I'm very upset at those who took the presidential election seriously, but fail to utilize their rights during other primary elections.

All votes are and forever will be accounted for. Well, that's only if you go out and exercise your rights. Voting for elected officials to represent us in office is very important. They are our voices for creating laws and enforcing them, Health care, taxes, government assistance, employment opportunities, and social security is determined by our votes.

People have marched, fought and put their lives on the line for us to cast a ballot. Maybe you do not understand the sacrifice our ancestors fought tirelessly for. One day you should GROW UP and begin understanding. All persons of color and women should be the first in line to cast a ballot. From what I heard in the next year or so African Americans will not be able to vote at all (there is an expiration date on OUR Constitutional privileges).

When you go to the department of human services office to renew your link (EBT) application, your worker should offer you a voters registration form. The post office, all colleges and universities carry forms, as well as many churches. Facebook and other media outlets advertise how important it is to vote and you still come up with every excuse in the world as to why you were unable to vote. I find it very amusing how you can call off work to go and get your hair and nails done, but it does not cross your mind on election day. You can stand in line for hours to cop that new iPhone or the newest pair of Jordans, but you are not willing to stand in line for a few minutes to vote for the Mayor of your city.

It's always those individuals that make the most noise who do not vote. I'm tired of hearing about the decrease in food stamps, W.I.C., and so forward. Exercise your rights and stop complaining. It takes nothing to get up off your ass and go vote. When you do not vote you do not have any rights to be bitter, nor complain about anything that happens in society today. You think its hard now with the Republicans running the House and Senate? Wait until Sarah Palin or Donald Trump becomes president it's going to be hell to pay the captain. If you don't know what the Tea Party does, I suggest you start researching now.

Growing old is mandatory, but growing up is an option. Be smart and utilize your rights to VOTE.
