You probably know people who complain about the state of our country, or our state, or county, or city. Yes, there is a lot to be irritated about, but is it enough to just store up that frustration or can we get the complainers to take the next step toward a solution?
When given the opportunity to discuss, develop and present solutions, we often hear, “Why bother? Nothing will change.” Unfortunately, too many people just don’t want to do anything to address the source of frustration. But there is an “easy button” for those folks. As citizens of this once amazingly beautiful republic, our first and greatest responsibility as citizens is to vote.
Let’s all get out and vote, and through that, define what we want in our representatives at the local, state and national levels. It’s through the all-important right, responsibility and act of voting that we can make a difference in our communities, schools, state and nation.
