I vote because I can.
I vote because my father was at Pearl Harbor.
I vote because my brother was in Viet Nam.
I vote because I don’t want my two sons to have to fight in a war.
I vote because I’m the first generation of my family born in America.
I vote because I was able to get a college degree, with government assistance.
I vote because while I grumble about my taxes, they “buy me civilization”.  I shouldn’t complain about how my taxes are gathered or spent if I don’t vote.
I vote because I truly believe each vote makes a difference.  Trust me on this, I’m a Floridian.

At the end of this day, history will have been made in the United States of America.  Either a black man will be president, or a woman will be vice-president.  Whether you’re red, blue, purple or some other color in the rainbow, vote.  It is the single most important thing you can do as a US citizen.
