Yes We Can

why you should vote. I have one answer. WARS. what you can change. I have one answer. EVERYTHING.
wars
with food. money. power. safety. sex. lives. ownership. pollution. violence. education. healthcare. censorship. taxes. pride. love. our world. patriotism. political correctness. privacy. races. stereotypes. intolerance. impatience.
you can
torch the label that all teenagers care about are mtv shows and voting for the next American idol. break the chains of ignorance and become informed of the world around you. lose the laziness and get INVOLVED. speak up and speak out. out against the wrongs of this world. up for the voices too broken to scream.
care about more than the sphere that contains you. expand. care about the future. give thought to those who are less fortunate. more fortunate. be aware of your influences and your actions. behave as if you care. fake it til you make it. because we cannot afford to be careless any longer.
i vote because
i vote because it is my duty. i vote because i want to be able to say i did something for my country. i vote because i own my body. i vote because i do not believe in monopolizing health care. i vote because as grand of a country we are, we still have homeless families. i vote because i believe in working hard. i vote because i am informed. i vote because an education is everyone's right. i vote because a quality education means more than an average standardized test score. i vote because i want a clean world to live in. i vote because nothing is expendable. i vote because i believe in compromise and have found not many do these days. i vote because i want compromise back in our government. i vote because the people should not feel disconnected from their leaders. i vote because it's not his, hers, yours, or mine, its our country. i vote because i have a voice.
yes we can
bring two parties together to work as one. listen to each other. forgive. embrace diversity. accept disagreements. tolerate differences. learn about new cultures. stop stereotypes. create a solution. many solutions. feel like our country supports each individual. stop the violence. put an end to genocides gone unnoticed. protect our earth. our universe. trust our leaders. pave a new pattern for the history books. make a difference. change.
VOTE.

wow. i really like this! i especially like the line, fake it til you make it. I kinda live by that theory. Usually it's the best way to live. otherwise you spend your whole life wishing for other things.
