Non voters

We live in a country that was founded on desires for liberties. The key protection of our founding documents which enumerate the principles and tents of "These United States" (per the Decloration of Independence) is our right to vote.

PATRIOTS, AND CITIZENS, SUFFERED FOR THIS IMPORTANT AMERICAN RIGHT. 

The statistics of election show that few citizens vote. Presidential elections achieve a total of a few votes greater than 60 percent of registered voters. Local elections are possibly as high as forty percents.

Local elections have their first impacts on; property taxes, municipal services from police protection to trash collection, neighborhood zoning, appointments to municipal positions and boards, and interface with the County and State.
The numbers of voters that go to the polls does not mean that the people who are registered as 'un-affiliated' are the people who do not vote. Many who are registered to a Party do not vote. There are arguments that the registered voters only vote along party lines, regardless of candidate, often resulting in the unsuitable of unqualified office holder. Those who did not vote are un-informed or some times do not care because they do not know or like their party's candidate. Primary elections are important for this very reason. .If you do not like any candidates up for election vote for a write in to show your dislike, but by all that is patriotic VOTE
If you did not vote, shame on you.
