My Truth: Voting is…

By: Cheryl Smith

After decades of using every method I could imagine to stress the importance of voting and encourage others to vote; I figured I’d share words from others:

”If American women would increase their voting turnout by ten percent, I think we would see an end to all of the budget cuts in programs benefiting women and children.”
-Mrs. Coretta Scott King

“Elections belong to the people. It’s their decision. If they decide to turn their back on the fire and burn their behinds, then they will just have to sit on their blisters.”
-Abraham Lincoln

“Democracy cannot succeed unless those who express their choice are prepared to choose wisely. The real safeguard of democracy, therefore, is education.”
-Franklin D. Roosevelt

“A man without a vote is a man without protection.”
-Lyndon B. Johnson

“Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.”
-Martin Luther King, Jr

“Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that you vote is never lost.”
-John Quincy Adams

“The ballot is stronger than the bullet.”
-Abraham Lincoln

“One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors.”
-Plato

“The ignorance of one voter in a democracy impairs the security of all.”
-John F. Kennedy

“Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost.”
-John Quincy Adams

“A vote is like a rifle; its usefulness depends upon the character of the user.”
-Theodore Roosevelt

“Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.”
-Martin Luther King, Jr
