Whose To Blame: The Politician or The Public?
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HqoArcce_UE&w=560&h=315]
How important is voting?
If we want change within our cities and governments who’s to blame when things get worst? The politicians or the public? If you don’t vote, can you blame politicians for things you don’t agree with or want to change? Do you feel like your voice is being heard when it comes to elections or do you think it doesn’t matter if you vote or not?
We’d love to hear your thoughts and view on how important you think voting is, or if you think there is no need to vote.

Polling Look Up

This link will help those voters in New Jersey to know which poll to go to.
Your Voice Counts
So it’s that time of year where Americans can make their voices heard. I know most don’t understand the power of our vote. But we can vote for changes within our communities. A lot of us have been denied this privilege, and our ancestors fought for our rights to vote and make our voice heard. So why not vote?
In June of this year voters were asked to go to voters booth for the New Jersey primaries. Sadly New Jersey reported the lowest voter turn out in 90 years. We can not complain about the system unless we start putting the right people in office who have the voice of the public in mind. The only way the public will have a voice is by making themselves heard at the voting booth. BE HEARD AND GO VOTE.
