"Bad officials are elected by good citizens who do not vote."
As important as this election is, there are people who will not vote. It will be too hot or too cold. They did not know that they were required to register or they don't have a ride to the polls. The lines will be too long or they won't even know where to vote. While there are those people that argue these excuses can be eradicated, I disagree. The truth is, the poor will ALWAYS be among us. Your finances are not the only area in which you can be poor. People can be mentally, spiritually and emotionally bankrupt, as is evidenced by their lack of concern for their nation, state, county, city, or school board. So what does this mean for those of us that do care? That all depends on your outlook. For a losing party or cause, these people represent hope. They can turn the tables, making all the difference. But just because anything CAN happen, doesn't mean it will. Connect with like-minded individuals and organizations and resolve to make a difference. There's strength in numbers, and elected officials know this.
"People who don't vote have no line of credit with people who are elected and thus pose no threat to those who act against our interests."
