What' s up Fam?
Okay, so here in Memphis, we are in the middle of political races. Now, many of us(youngins) do not believe in voting. Many people believe that voting is useless and will do nothing to better or communities or our way of life and others are so out of touch with what is going on in the world, that voting is the fartherest thing from their minds. We need to vote people. And sure there are a lot of politicians who are not doing what they are supposed to do. For those of you from TN(Operation TN Waltz), but what about the people that are doing. There are community leaders that are working effortlessly for the people everyday, but when they run for political office...they are not voted for because they don't have a name to ride on. That is why it is important to review ALL candidates who are running for office. It is very simple...you can review their profiles and their stances on the internet or you may obtain information at the library. See if the issue that are important to you match with the platforms that the politicians are standing for. Always vote for the best candidate, do not just vote for a person because they are democrat or republican. All democrats do not always follow the "democratic way" of politicing and all republicans do not always follow the "republican way" of politicing. I remember my father always said to me when I was a little girl, 'If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything.' When we don't vote, we are falling for whatever politician that is given to us. Many people complain about what is not getting done or how the politicians don't care, but you could have easily voted to get someone in office who does care by voting. Think about it.
Stay Blessed
