Your right to vote

Voting for government officials gives one the
advantage
of the moral high ground when
complaining about the actions
taken by the elected
government. Complaining about the government
is
universal in scope. Being
able to do so openly is a
celebrated right in the United States. Anyone
and
everyone can and does complain about government
mistakes, taxes, and
injustices. But if you were diligent
enough to select your representatives in
the voting booth,
then you can complain with unbridled righteousness.

You can even complain about your candidate turned
representative, claiming
they have deviated from their
projected path. Of course, you can always rail
against
the opposition. But, if you voted for his/her opponent,
your complaints
are that much more legitimate.
Voting is also a celebrated right in this
country,
so vote, it will strengthen your argument. While you
are casting
your ballot remember, there exist places
on this planet where people give their
lives for that right.
