10 Reasons to Vote

By Luisa Lora ’08

  1. So you can complain
    If you love to complain in order to see changes, voting is for you. 
  2. It’s your right
    Others died for this privilege and now it’s your right. 
  3. Representation
    Who’s representing you? Find out and make sure your concerns are their concerns. 
  4. It’s your duty
    “Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for you country.” - John F. Kennedy.
  5. More federal money …
    for higher education funding, youth programs, the environment, HIV/AIDS or breast cancer research, whatever your cause.
  6. To cancel out someone’s vote
    In disagreement with your parents on certain issues? Cancel them out. 
  7. To bust the stereotype
    Young adults between the ages of 18 and 25 are said to not care about the issues. Prove them wrong!
  8. If you don’t, someone else will
    Why would you want someone else deciding what’s best for you?
  9. Every vote counts
    Remember the Florida controversy?
  10. Make some noise!
    Our opinions matter. It’s time to be heard.

MAKE IT HAPPEN! GET OUT THERE AND VOTE!
