Vote or Shut Up

It amazes me how we will beat someone in the head for a big ticket item on black friday, but we complain about a line for voting. Where are our priorities? Think about the two separate fights for voting. One for blacks in general and one for women. Both of these fights together enabled me to stand in line and cast my ballot. When I vote, I do it for my brother who can't because of legal reasons, I do it for my unborn child who needs a brighter future, and lastly I do it for me. The one time my opinion matters i will voice it.
