I was born in communist Cuba and was fortunate enough to be able to come to the United States with my family back in the 1970's. Since we did not have the privilege to vote in Cuba (nor speak against the government for fear of incarceration or death), the first thing I wanted to do when I became an American citizen was to register to vote….I could not wait to exercise my new right!
Since then, I have voted in every election (even the low profile, local ones) and even kept all the little stickers I've been given after voting saying “I voted.”
My husband and I are teaching our boys the importance of learning about candidates and how to vote according to our convictions and values. I even take them with me and let them press the buttons for the candidates we choose….this makes them feel very important.
I have never understood why people would choose not to exercise their right to vote when there are so many countries out there where people don't have that choice and have to put up with whatever regime they are under.
Lastly, I would like to ask people to think very hard before voting of which candidate would be the best person for the most important job in our great nation….Who would protect us from terrorists? Who would protect the right of the unborn? Who would not take our hard-earned money and give it away….”spread the wealth” and call those of us who are opposed to this form of government selfish and bitter?
America, wake up….socialism is just around the corner. As one who has lived through this, it is something we will regret.
Sincerely,
Nancy
