Please Vote This Year

Several of my friends are saying they can't vote for Obama because of some things they read on the internet. I want to say publicly that a person who does not vote for Obama is effectively voting for Romney.

I can guarantee you that you don't want Romney in the White House. He has a "blame the victim" mentality whether for poverty or sexual assault. He will effectively put corporations in solid charge of the White House and the Supreme Court. With corporations already running the House and Senate, the country will be lost.

He will cut all social programs for poor people, make education prohibitively expensive and remove all access to student loans, because he thinks parents should pay for school, not the state. Not that the state pays, because loans must be paid back - with interest.

Health care will be eliminated for the poor and elderly, the disabled, and the persons in the margins.

I must say that these folks need their heads examined. Really! Even if you don't like Obama because of his person, his background, or his parentage, you need to vote for him, or you are effectively voting for Romney. Don't let marginalized facts and figures stop you from exercising your right to sufferage, which men and women have spent over 150 years securing. Do not allow your rights to be subverted.

Vote. It's too important.
