Vote! It's your duty in a democracy
(by 6 people)
Your rating:
Democracy is for voters
Take your time to register (if needed), and vote in elections and polls in your society, country, school, workplace and other places of importance to you, and your family.
"Remember to vote
We all depend on you!"
Voting makes a difference
to you and everyone else
You are the most important person in your country. You hold the most important privilege any citizen in democratic states have: the vote. By casting your vote on who you believe in, you will make a difference!
Should you feel your single vote doesn't make a difference against the millions of other voters in your country? We understand!
But; you are not voting against a million, you are voting with a million others that think like you, and believe in the same values as you do.
If only a single person did not vote, the difference would not be noticable, probably. However, millions do not vote at all. These people could change the country they live in!

The Privilege of Voting
securing democracy
Thepeople in the Western World are quite used to voting on this, that, those and whom, again and again, and frankly we do get a bit tired of it.
The fact is, we are a bunch of spoiled brats!
In several countries the people never get the chance of being heard. They are suppressed by a one or few tyrant leaders, ruling with fear, violence or religious might. These people are denied their right to decide for themselves, denied the opportunity to create business, art, music, literature and new concepts.
Thinking along those lines, voting is a privilege, we may never give up. And, a duty, we all need to do.
