Presidential Election
I just wanted to take the time to say that I feel sorry for people who did not vote. I'm proud to say that I voted and my vote made a difference. MY VOTE MAKE HISTORY! My vote put an African-American man in office, a feat that many people thought was impossible. And yet, Americans, especially young people like myself, have proven that anything is possible. So for those who did not take the time to vote because you thought your vote would not count, I'm truly sorry that you felt that way. It must suck to know that you could have been a voice that helped change America, and you opted not to speak. You chose for your voice not to be heard. What I don't understand is why people who choose not to vote say they didn't vote because they didn't think it would matter. You may just be one person, but there are millions who think the same way and that leads to million of votes being lost, which makes a HUGE difference. Votes, or lack their of, do add up you know. I hope that this election makes you realize that one vote can make a difference. Even though Obama won by an electoral vote landslide, that landslide was only made possible because of every ONE person that realized that their vote would make a major difference in this election. So to everyone who decided that their voice was important enough to be heard, I am proud of you all, because our voices put Barack Obama in office :)
