Don’t worry.
Seriously, don’t worry. This won’t be a political rant–not about any candidate or any party.
But it will be a rant about apathy.
Did you see the Iowa Caucus results from last night?
8 votes separated Romney and Santorum! 8 votes!!!
Far too often people think, “my vote doesn’t count” or “I don’t make a difference,” but 8 people was the final difference for Romney and Santorum.
So it’s time to stop complaining about voices not being heard.
Get up. Get active. Get involved.
I’m not just talking about state and national elections and issues, but community and school causes as well.
8 votes made the difference and the total number of votes cast wasn’t even 1/2 of the registered Republicans in the state of Iowa, and only 5.4% of all eligible Iowa voters. In other words, the outcome could have been entirely different.
Do you want your community to change?
Do you want your state to change?
Do you want your nation to change?
Do you want your world to change?
Get up. Get active. Get involved.
It’s one thing to curse at the darkness, it’s another to find a way to bring in some light.
