Voting is a right for which our founding fathers believed enough in to be willing to give their lives to establish a representative government. They thought it ludicrous for England to dictate to the colonies without them being allowed to have any representatives in parliament. Since that moment, it was discovered that the monarchies capitalized on the ideal of divine rule, and the right for man to choose his leaders has become universal from the American Revolution to the struggle for democracy in the Philippines. It is a right we have come to take for granted.

Voting is a responsibility that we have ignored which has lowered the quality of leaders that are in office. The elections are a time which allows us to show our concern for the future of the United States by selecting those leaders who best represent the interests of all factions of society. If the majority of the people fail to vote, the leaders that are chosen will ultimately be representing special interest groups, rather than the citizens of the nation.

Voting is a privilege we have living in the United States and one that we do not fully appreciate. Because we have the opportunity to choose our leaders, we never have had to live under the rule of a dictatorship. While some Americans choose to stay home on Nov. 8, the citizens of Chile are leading a bloody struggle to gain suffrage to liberate themselves from a despot. When we go to the polls on Nov. 8 we have no fear of being told how or not to vote. It is a privilege we will never fully appreciate until it is taken away.

Voting is a duty we, as students, have failed to do en masse in the past. Because of this sad fact, we have been poorly, but not unfairly represented in both the state general assembly, the congress and other government offices. Whether we care enough about our present situation to take the initiative to find a few minutes to vote will be seen on Nov. 8.
