Voting Get off your duff and do something

Here's something that bugs me. One of my sisters believes that since she doesn't vote that she is exempt from all problems that arrise from the elections. And she has more right to complain about things going on because she didn't vote for the current leaders who created this mess. She feels i who did vote have no right to complain because i voted and now things are a mess that i helped create it by voting.
What she doesn't see is by her not voting it effects her to down the road to. What if a candidate running for President or a Senator wanted to do away with her Social security? Would she sit back and not vote against him? And after a person like that wins, Would she say? You voted for him now live with it. There are to many people out there who believe that, or they think their vote dont count so why go vote? Well guess what? It won't count if you dont get out and exercise your right to vote.It's like the lottery you can't win if you don't buy a ticket.
I feel better for going out to vote even though who i voted for might have lost but least i tried to make some changes.
I know some people feel its to much trouble to go vote, they made it so easy now you can do it from home with the absentee ballot.I seen a elderly woman come in last time i voted. She walked very slowly with a walker.She walked to the machine and pushed one button either Democratic or Republican straight ticket. Most likely she didn't have a clue who she just voted for but least she got out and did something.Now if a elderly person with a walker can get out on election day and vote what the is stopping you from getting out of the recliner or off the couch?
We can make a change for things that we Americans want not what politicians in Washington want.So im challenging Americans to get off their arse's and cast your vote! If you don't like who is running then write in yourself show them your upset and feel you can do a better job. By all means vote for your state representatives show them your fed up with the path they have led us down.They will get re-elected if you choose to sit on your butt and do nothing. Show me you still care about this great country while we still can.Let's take back our country!
