Election Day-Actually Important

Most of the people who know me know that I'm not really politically active. However over the past couple of monthes I've been learning the importantance of having a voice. I realize now not voting before didn't mean I wasn't saying anything, in fact I was choosing to support whoever won because by not voting I voted to not have a say in the matter (if that makes sense) however today I voted for the first time! I was proud to have a voice and even helped campaign not only for a candidate but for simply voting and it felt great. I was part of a group that stood in a long line silently for 15 with posters, it was soooooo positive! I think as I grow, as a person and simply grow older, it's much more apparent that if I don't like how things are I have to stand up and say something and find others who think positivly like me. Point is I VOTED and you should too! because when we stand together there really can be a change and even the smallest voice should have the right to speak.
