The Importance of Voting!

I am really excited about the upcoming election, I never really was interested in politics until I realized the importance of being educated and informed about the candidates.  That is the most important thing you need to do before an election, educate yourself on all candidates.  You need to consider the issues and then see what each candidate’s platform is on that particular issue.  I personally try to not pay attention to the commercials on TV. because all they are doing is bad mouthing the other candidate.  I have realized how important it is to exercise my right to vote, because women didn’t always have this right.  I am very proud to be an informed, responsible and educated woman voter.  The Mount is also really trying to promote voter registration.  This week at the Mount, SGA is sponsoring voter registration week.  All week SGA representative such as myself will be helping students around campus to become registered voters.  I think this program is such a wonderful tool; people who might not have registered because they didn’t know how, can easily sign up!  If you want your voice to be heard you have to take the appropriate steps in making it happen!  I guess you could kind of consider me a political geek, I watched both the Democrat and Republican conventions on CSPAN.  I promise you I am not a boring person, I just like to be informed and hear what both parties say!  Enough political talk, I must get back to work!
