Dear United States citizens,
Countries go to wars over it. Empires fall because of it.
People risk their lives in order to partake in it. It’s the basis of what a
democracy stands for. If you answered “alcohol” after each I’m not going to
argue with you, but what I’m looking for on this first Tuesday in November is
your ability as a citizen of the greatest country in the world to vote. Yes,
you have the power to change things. I know this may sound cliché, but it is
true. Voting is what makes this country what it is. It offers everyone a chance
to make a difference whether they are running for office themselves or electing
someone that shares in their views and opinions on what their local, state or
federal government should stand for. It has shaped this country since a bunch
of wig wearing, feather scribbling bad asses thumbed their noses to a monarchy
on the other side of the pond and continues to this day…Merica! Without the
ability to vote, musicians would not be senators, actors could not become
governors and idiot’s our president. People who fail to vote are constantly
blaming the system as unfair and corrupt. They feel that one person never makes
a difference and the constant barrage of all things political leading up to an
election turns them off on the process as a whole. If you ask me, dealing with
a mailbox constantly stuffed with trash, political ads that make local
commercials tolerable and the abundance of signs that simply appear over the
course of a night on every corner, fence or field within a 100 mile radius of a
candidate’s district or referendum far outweighs the option of referring to
someone as “your majesty” or the strong possibility of losing an appendage for
your political views. As a person with future political aspirations and enough
skeletons in the closet to fulfill these dreams, take the time today to make
your way to your local polling facility and cast your vote. It doesn’t matter
if you are Republican or Democrat, conservative or liberal, what you do today
makes a difference in the future of this country you call home, plus they give
you a sticker to show off to all your friends. I’m Marcus Monroe and I approve
this ad…
PS. Happy Election Tuesday peeps, make a difference and
remember….If it doesn’t include meat, it’s a snack. Merica.
