Our Founding Fathers earned for us the right to vote, and millions of Americans fought and died over the past 200+ years to preserve that right. That’s why we should consider the act of voting as payment of a debt of honor.
Here’s what a few notable Americans have said about voting:
“Ballots are the rightful and peaceful successors to bullets.” Abraham Lincoln
“Voting is a civic sacrament.” Theodore Hesburgh
“Let us never forget that government is ourselves and not an alien power over us. The ultimate rulers of our democracy are not a President and senators and congressmen and government officials, but the voters of this country.” Franklin D. Roosevelt
“Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost.” John Quincy Adams
Now get on out there and VOTE!
