Not the Time for Apathy

The following is a "letter to the editor" from Jacob Werther.

As I walked my precinct last week collecting signatures for my candidate’s primary, I met people who did not care or have given up on government.

They call this apathy.

Municipalities are considering bankruptcy.

States are considering default.

The deficit is soaring.

Yet no one wants to vote.

They call this apathy.

Apathy is not an option. Voting is.

If you are reading this please take time to down download the attached voters registration form and print it out (first page only) and have 20 neighbors or friends or family fill it out and mail it to the correct clerk and recorder (second page.) Have that person find another 20 and so on. If you like the internets then go to here, or register online here.

Either way do it now before July 12, 2010 at 5:00 pm. These elections both primary and general are too important to ignore.

To learn more about the candidates please go here for Democrats or here for Republicans.

Now is not the time for apathy. Now is the time for exercising your liberty.
