Voting is one of the most precious rights we have as Americans.
Of course, it was not always that way. Over time, many people in our nation fought
– and some gave their lives – for the cause of equal voting rights
for all individuals. That tells us something about the power of the vote. Like
all hard-won rights, voting is something we should not treat lightly. It is a
right we should respect, and it is a right we should exercise.
