I believe voting is about personal responsibility. We are oftentimes responsible for those things which affect the quality of our life. We even have the opportunity to change it, sometimes for the better, and we don't. The right to vote is an important right in a free society. We must always make certain that our voices are heard. Our decisions may not just have an impact on our lives but that of our children and grandchildren. We owe them a society where they can live and enjoy the freedoms we may take for granted. We must never look back on those things we wish were different if we have not cast a vote in an effort to make a difference.
