I Hope you all voted

Voting is the most important thing that you can do as an American. If you don't vote... don't complain. If every American voted , the country would be in much better shape. It is truly a privilege, and is all too often poo-poo-ed by a society that is too busy to take ten minutes out of their day to register their opinion and voice. This is OUR chance to make a difference, a chance to take control; and a chance to make yourself heard. If you choose not to vote, than choose not to complain about this country; it's politics or it's direction. It is a great country that we live in, but the advantages that are given to us HAVE to be used and respected. We are wasting our democracy if we do not fulfill our responsibilities as citizens, and vote for what we believe in and want for our future. I have voted every election since I was given the privilege , and encourage every person in this nation to do the same. ONE vote at a time... can change destiny, and change the world. Think about it... don't you WANT to be heard? It may have been a whisper, but I was heard today; and that is all that matters. Till next time.. COTTON
