Election
As the Presidential campaign winds to a close, most people have their mind made up on how they will vote. Whether their reasons be their party allegiance, the ideas of the candidate, or the color of the candidate's skin, almost everyone has decided which route they will go this coming Tuesday. I, on the other hand, have absolutely no clue who I want to vote for. I feel pressure from different ways telling me to vote for different people, but I don't think its fair to vote because of what other people tell you. I want to make my own informed decision. I haven't kept up with the election; therefore, I know nothing about the candidates except what I hear from others. I wish I had done things differently and actually watched the debates and followed the speeches, but I just always put it off. Now, there is no more time to put it off. I'm going to have to do some quick last minute research and evaluate my beliefs really fast to make sure that I make the right decision. People say that one vote doesn't count, but that is so untrue. If a million people were to say that their vote didn't count, then that could be the difference needed for the opposite candidate to win the presidency. We live in a country that allows us to choose our leaders, so we should take advantage of that at every opportunity!
