Send mandates to the government.
Through voting we practice "democracy“ which we are trying to bring to others.
Example being set
Demonstrate belief in democracy
Respect for lives being lost protecting democracy
It is important to exercise the right to vote. Through this process our beliefs and concerns are conveyed.

Voting is not only the privilege but the responsibility of every 18 year-old.
Congress can help or hinder families trying to raise their children
Everyone remembers the 2000 election between Bush and Gore that was too close to call for weeks.
