Elections 2012
We the people ARE the government here in America – we elect
our leaders to lead our country and represent us through our elections! By
voting, we are able to express our own opinions on issues through our choices
of candidates. As the next generation begins to mature and prepare to be a part
of their communities, they need to understand that their vote is their voice.
The freedom to vote and choose our government representatives is a freedom that
has been obtained and defended at the cost of many precious lives. They need to
understand the election process, the workings of American government and the
impact that they can have on the process as well as the future of our country.
