TAKE YOUR BEST SHOT!
by Bob Esch
Many times people
say:
“I’m
not voting for anyone this year; they’re all no good!” or perhaps:
“I’m
not going to bother to vote – they’re all the same!” or
“I’d
vote for Smith if it weren’t for his stupid position on that last
bill!”
C’mon. These people
are not being realistic. They are wasting the most precious thing an
American has – his vote. You will never agree, across the board, with
any candidate. To make your vote count, you must choose the candidate
that best represents your view on the issues most important to you. In
the upcoming presidential election, this should not be difficult.
Another way to waste
your most precious freedom, your right to vote, is to vote for a
candidate that cannot be elected. It may be satisfying to go against the
leading parties, as a matter of principle, but does it accomplish
anything? No. You might even throw the election to the candidate you
like the least. Again, for your vote to count, you must choose the
candidate who will best represent you.
Please remember that
New Jersey is now considered a “swing state.” Every vote counts.
Make your vote count! Give it your best
shot!
