Intro & Voting

For the sake of this and all future posts to this blog, you (my much appreciated readers) may call me Ana. Earlier this evening, I voted in my second election. This of course, got me thinking about politics and in general the many diverse and multifaceted issues that I, and many other young adults do actually care about. Thus, this is mainly the purpose of this blog, a place where I, will write and post articles on various issues that matter to me, and where, hopefully... they will serve as the catalyst for genuine, thoughtful, and productive discussions on the issues presented. 

Since I'm thinking about voting this evening, let's talk for a few minutes about why young people should register to vote, vote, and/or participate in political activities of some kind. The simple reason is, we need to be heard. No matter what your political beliefs are, if you don't participate in some form, whether by voting, running for office, protesting, or signing petitions for in favor of things you agree with, or to stop things that are being debated that you think are a bad idea, no one will hear your voice.
