Why you Should Vote in the Primaries

Every election it seems that the most viable candidates in my eyes are always the ones who get the least amount of air-time. Ron Paul, Dennis Kucinich, John McCain, Mike Huckabee, Tom Tancredo. I'm an idealist when it comes to this, it shouldn't be about who can talk the loudest, who gets the most airtime, or who can attack his opponents the best. It needs to be about who has the best vision and intentions for our great country's future.

I know so many people that are my age who have given up on politics because they don't feel that they can make a difference. They all feel that the only ones with a voice in DC today are the lobbyists and the media. The truth is that our system only works if everyone who has a voice uses it. More importantly in our two-party system, people need to vote not just in the general election, but in the primaries and caucuses as well. If you don't, then your voice will never fully be heard and you'll always be left deciding between other people's choices.
