Why Should I Vote?

I keep hearing this over

and over again.

"Why should I vote? My vote doesn't count. Besides, all Politicians are crooked anyways."

I know,
just a couple of months ago,
a lot of
States
had
Primaries,
which are the hardest
Elections
for
Voter
turnout.
People do not feel the need until the
Big Elections.

See,

that is what

Big Political Machines

want you to think.

They know they can rally up enough votes to get their particular candidate elected,
that will back their agenda,

because that candidate will be owing to the

Political Machine
that got them elected.
They will always be in the back pockets of those running the
Machine.
 Let me tell you a little story about voting

and how every vote counts.

My

Grandfather,

when he was alive,

was a local

Politician

in the city of

Cudahy, Wisconsin.

The very first year he ran for public office,

his family was so sure that he was going to win,

that my

Mother,

when she was still being courted by my

Father,

while he was still courting my

Mother,

decided it was too much trouble for them to go out

and vote.

Back then,

the candidates would receive a phone call from the

Wisconsin Election Board

telling them of the results.

My

Grandfather

got the call

and lost by

One Vote.

If my

Parents

had gone out

and voted,

my

Mother's Vote

would have been the tying vote,

and my

Father's Vote

would have been the winning vote.

Your vote

and every vote counts.

The happy ending to this story is,

my

Grandfather

ran again for

Public Office

two years later

and won.

He then held the position for

16 Years

in a row until he retired.

True story.

In California,

There Is So Much More To Vote For Than Just For

The President Of The United States.

Like The Prepositions On Each Ballot.
Or,
The Local Politicians Who Will Effect Your Life Before Some Executive Decision By The President. 

This is,

Always Mailing My Ballot In Early,

Jim Hauenstein,

And,

 “Every election is determined by the people who show up.”
- Larry J. Sabato -

That is my story and I am sticking to it!
