The right to vote is the most fundamental of all our rights as Americans. In some countries, citizens must risk their lives to go to the polls and vote. And yet many Americans fail to exercise this right. We take for granted that we will always have the right to choose.
Democracy is like a person sitting on top of a pyramid of people.
Without the support of informed, consistent voters, it is likely to crumble. The importance of voting is a value that all children need to be taught. Today is an opportunity for parents to emphasize this essential right to choose. Take your older children to the polls when you vote. Review the candidates and what they stand for with your child.
