As a citizen of the United States of America, we are given countless privileges each day. We live in a country where we have the freedom of speech, religion, press and assembly just to name a few. These freedoms should never be taken lightly, especially when we are constantly shown the injustices happening in other countries.
Today, November 4, 2014, is one day out of the year where we all have the freedom and right to vote. Take the time to support those who have dedicated their lives to passing laws and making a change in our communities—no matter what your party affiliation may be.
