OKK!!!! So automatically even without my name being under this post, you know who I am. Why? Because I've posted 3 posts about voting. Election day is a week away. That's it!! I know you all are already registered to vote which is GREAT, but now the next and MOST important step is to get out to the polls next Tuesday and VOTE!!! Again, I don't care who you want to vote for, just vote. I know it might not seem important now but we need to think about the future. If we do not make a change now, think of how the U.S.will affect all of us when we get older. We are the future leaders of America. We can make history.
New discussion question(Going out on a Limb Here): America is identified as a Democracy. What defines a Democracy to you the individual and does America fit in to your definition of a democracy?
It must be the history teacher in me. I hope people respond.

well,I'm a biology kind of girl lol but a democracy to me is a system in which the people get to elect their leaders and also get to enjoy freedom and liberty.
Now,our government system has flaws,just like anything else, but in the greater scheme of things, we ought to be lucky to have what we have in this country. I think alot of people like to complain about the way the country is operating, that is totally their right to (and also if you don't like it,go and voteee!!!) but when you leave this country and see what else is out there in terms of violence, poverty and corruptness in leadership, you get more of an appreciation for your own country. So like Caitlin said, we have the opportunity to change what you don't like about the country and how it has been operating, so take that privelage that we as american citizens are lucky to have and vote!
If you live in Union County you can go to the courthouse and vote early. Bring your driver's license, they'll give you an absentee ballot, fill it out, seal it and return it. I did it in 15 minutes. Room 113. Beat the lines.
