Freedom is liberty; it is not being under someone else's control. It is having the right, indeed, the responsibility, to take a stand on issues that affect our nation. There is no greater way to exercise our freedom, to ensure that freedom, than to vote. Nevertheless, many Americans do not take that freedom seriously, as evidenced by the lack of strong participation in elections.
People use a variety of excuses to rationalize why they do not vote. Some say that they are too busy to vote. Still others say they do not vote because small numbers cannot make a difference, or because one vote will not matter at all. There are also those Americans who do not vote, because they simply are not concerned about doing so.
The
most important right citizens have is the right to vote.
