Your Vote Matters  by Grandpa Chuck

I’m sure most of you have seen P. Diddy on MTV and his “VOTE OR DIE” T-shirts?  Have you seen the slogan “ROCK OUT THE VOTE”?   or heard the chant “CHOOSE OR LOSE"?

This looks like this is going to be another busy year for the “Get out the Vote” groups.  Step #1 is to register, Step #2 is to understand what the candidates stand for, and Step #3 is to vote.  Easy, clear, and a great action plan for the MTV crowd, the Seniors crowd, and everyone in between.  Who said politics can’t be fun?

How about the group GrannyVoter; have you heard and seen their plan of action?

GrannyVoters want to know:

• Will our grandchildren have a chance for decent jobs, good education and adequate healthcare?
• Will our grandchildren live in a world of polluted air and water and disrupted climate?
• Will our grandchildren carry a burden of debt for today's spending?
• Will our grandchildren have the same rights we have today and be able to speak their minds openly and freely?
• Will our grandchildren face rage and resentment created by the policies our government pursues?

GrannyVoters are pledging to vote for their grandchildren because they cannot vote for themselves.

It matters not which age group you belong in, the question comes down to, “Are you registered to vote?”  Make sure you and your friends and family are properly registered for November.  If you don’t know how or where to register to vote, then check out “MTV's Voter 101”.

See you at the polls in November!
