It is time we all start demanding an absentee ballot. Too many of us either do not take the time or are unable to get the time to vote. We should avail ourselves of our right to vote and vote in each and every election. There is no excuse for twenty five percent of the population deciding a school election.

Because many of us do not have children currently in school we think that we don’t need to vote. This means that the school board election is decided by mostly teachers and parents. Each year another ten-dollar-levy is added here and there. Pretty soon it starts to add up. Just look at your property tax bill. It is absolutely ridiculous that a minority in this state are deciding where the majority of our money is spent.

If you can’t get to the polling booth demand an absentee ballot for next year. I want to see more than fifty percent voter turn out next year. It would be great to see eighty percent or higher turn out for every election in this country.

I would hate to see this country collapse from apathy and disinterest.

p.s. If you don’t vote don’t complain.
