Imagine This

You have a child who plays on a sport team and they play this one particular team every season. This team is full of dirty players and everything the two teams face each other the "dirty" team cheats and always wins because of this. Your child usually leaves the game feeling very disappointed and has decided that it's not even worth the time or effort to play them any more and figures that it's easier to quit since the other team is just going to win anyway.


This scenario is very similar to how a lot of people (especially black people) feel about voting. You wouldn't tell you child to be a quitter now would you? No, I'm sure most of you would say "Baby, if you play the game with integrity and do the things that you are supposed to do then you will win one day. Cheaters never really win." I believe this same truth with voting. Please get out there tomorrow and exercise your RIGHT to vote. Voting is an important right that a lot of us have that we take for granted. If you don't vote then you can't complain about the education your children are receiving, the minimum wage rate, or any other thing that our Senators, Congressman, and President handle for us! Get out there tomorrow, November 7th, and Vote!
