As we find ourselves four months away from the Midterm Elections, we see that the Republican Party has seen the handwriting on the wall in terms of the number of Republicans running for office nationwide who are going down in defeat. The one remaining question is: How many of the rest of us also see the opportunity of the rescue of our democratic form of government, if only we would bother to vote?
Now is the time to engage in Voter Registration, which will ensure our right to vote in the November Midterm elections. While it is important to put people in office who will uphold the Constitution and the Oath of Office that goes with it, one has to be registered to vote before one can actually vote.
The San Diego Voice & Viewpoint newspaper has done what we hope all of our papers will do: simply make Voter Registration Cards available at our office. Not only can you pick up blank registration forms here, we can assist you in filling them out, if you need help. There is no need to wait until October to join a rush to registration. We can hold a number of conversations about who one might consider voting for, the main issue is that as many of us as possible are registered to vote.
It does not matter if you are homeless, have a past criminal record, or speak a different language. This is one of the states that offers multiple language voter registration opportunities.
We must remember that people died for our right to vote. We must also remember that there is a part of America afraid of executing that right, which we have guaranteed under the Constitution. Voting is more than a right; it’s an obligation that we have to those who came before us and were denied that right for a variety of reasons. THINK ABOUT IT.
