Voting

Is anyone still wondering why voter turnout has dropped to an all-time low? Perhaps it’s an indication that some Americans no longer believe that this is a democracy or that their participation would change anything in Washington, D.C., or Ventura County.

Many of us kind of like America and hope she pulls through this time of political blight. Yet getting voters to care and to vote may not be possible unless the government proves itself “by the people and for the people.” How many of us are holding our breath?
