Voters may be volunteer firemen, church workers, Scout leaders, Dixie Youth coaches, 4-H volunteers. They may be active in party politics or they may support financially public television or raise money at a benefit. Or they may be active in the Lions or VFW or they may write letters to congressmen or support national environmental causes. I suspect there are fewer voters among those who work and go home and go to work and hit the beach every weekend. Public service sometimes requires foregoing personal activities, but the joy of helping others is, for many, more pleasurable than spending every weekend at the beach or playing golf three times a week.
Most immigrants register and vote.
That, alone, makes for a good argument to support continued high levels of immigration. This country needs more voters who care about America. Look for your comments in next week's edition of the Weekly Post Online.
