How important do you think it is to vote?

Sunday, February 3, 2008

Louie Walker

Dyersburg

"I think it's very important because if you don't vote, you don't have a choice."


Lori Rivers

Lake County

"It's very important because it's your right to vote and if you don't vote then don't gripe."


Larry Finch

Dyersburg

"It's very important because if you're a citizen of Dyersburg you have a right to vote. Most black people aren't even registered to vote because we think that what we say doesn't matter. But it does."


Geraldine Howard

Newbern

"It's important because that person will be running the government and if you don't voice your opinion you have no right to complain."


Jennifer Douglas

Newbern

"It's important because of the way the world currently is today. But when it comes to the presidential election, I don't think the citizens have much pull because that the Electoral College is what really counts."

  • Well stated Mr. Larry Finch. I wish that all African Americans thought like you. Maybe we would have already had a major change in government.
