With all the resources available to us, there really was little excuse for not finding out every thing there was to know about how to have made this election become a tried and true recipe for success. It was time to step out of the kitchen and onto the patio. It was time to jump into the pool of politics before Drowning in the sun sets of this OUR opportunity. It was time to make a difference and show the world WE were the ones who ACTUALLY did care.
As adults we continually have a responsibility to teach our children of the importance related to voting and the whole experience of voting. I have never been a person to talk openly about my political preferences; however, my husband and I have had multiple discussions on this very topic. Our children should witness us spending time discussing and researching each and every piece of the political pie. They should see us reading about it, seeking out information, absorbing every morsel of information into our being. They should recognize the taste that comes with the hunger and be acquainted with thirst for knowledge related to learning about the issues and each candidate’s position over those issues.
Unfortunately there are too many individuals around us that choose to sit back and let the other guy make the choice for us. It saddens me to find myself participating on that same level of indecisiveness. It is difficult to make a knowledgeable decision when you are not informed about the candidates and the issues surrounding them. When people aren’t informed they often believe they can’t or shouldn’t go to the poles. This creates an end result of poor voter turn out and overall a skewed poling result.
Sitting in a classroom of grown adults, as the question was asked, I felt utterly ashamed. Ashamed I couldn’t raise MY hand, ashamed I wasn’t participating to MY fullest ability, ashamed there weren’t more people raising THEIR hands, ashamed I had NO clue in the slightest about ANYTHING relating to the current election – just months away! What’s the question you ask? It was a simple one – “Who is following the election?” Now as the voting year has come to a close, and the inevitable has come and gone, I would have thought more people would have cared. It seems even with so much at stake, nothing was different – and yet some are stepping out of the kitchen and onto the patio, seeking a change. With that a new question arises – Is it time for a greater change?
Persisting Truthfulness By: Lynn Herrington
Most the old belief was about choice. In this it reminds many of powerful philosophy. The concept, for instance, that every person creates the colossal opportunity of a deafening change. That the pragmatic politician seeking the uniformed indecisive voter of the opposing party is, by their existence, offering differentiating viewpoints where from a new perspective of choice transforms. Or the further concept that, because there is in each state no single item to which the importance of voting decreases, a vote is vocalization to what it represents. We learn about it during long debates and through the commentator on our TV, there is a small tinge of understanding, a possibility toward change. Now and again we receive flyers, fulfilling the process, nothing solidifies: marketing, learn, read, issues, one and another. There is a candidate you gave support to and you followed devoutly, knowing his big shoes in your mind occasionally, you experienced a brutal surprise at his perseverance with a resolve for change, for his campaign trail among his humble followers, impractical words from the battle boss, dirty promises where we trapped the big red-blue animal labeled candidate.It barely had to do with him. craving, we say, since aspiration is bursting of never-ending desires. We must have been
the unseen to him. But we recall so much, the way his defense
shredded cash, the fixation his mother said that crippled
his, what he envisioned.Now are instances when the mind is as mystical as choices,adds that are the fine words persisting. Such truthfulness, thosemorning and nights, callingvote,
vote, vote.
