Here's the thing, this is my first election, i am very excited because i finally get to vote, why i'm voting is that i see a brighter future for America and want to contribute because i want my voice being heard. I am going to be doing a speech in my fundamentals of public speaking class and our next speech is a persuasive speech, so i was like, why not talk about voting, people can make an impact by voting, volunteering to get people who arent registered to vote registered. Right now i am very ecstatic about talking about voting and the fact that i am finally at the age to vote, it's pretty awesome and very much a big deal to my family. My mom, dad, sister and i are all independents who are voting for Barack Obama because of his fresh ideas and new optimistic sense of faith in our country that to be honest i never really gave a s**t about before i turned 18. I first got into politics when i was in my high school government class; it's amazing learning about all the history and the elections in the past years. I used to complain that not very many people volunteered in helping people find a greater sense in America, but now i know that want to help impact other people because it would make me feel good.
My main point im getting to is that i would like some ideas that would be wise to talk about in my persuasion to vote.
so far i have:
being knowledgable - knowing what your voting for, why you are voting for what you are voting for, why you are voting and other things
the fact that if you don't vote, you don't have a reason to complain, and really i have talked to my mom, dad, sister, teachers, and anyone else who knows information about voting and they would say the same thing, you have a right to vote, to have your voice heard, and other things, and instead you don't vote for several reasons, one: you don't care, two: you don't like either candidate running for president and maybe haven't read their policies and don't want to because it's not worth it to you. four: some ask "what's in it for me?", and to be honest, i probably asked myself that question before i could even vote because i didn't really care about the elections and who was president.
So i ask you fellow Americans, can you tell me some ideas i could talk about with the issues of voting.
