"....It gives you thr right to complain about the government"
My family always says: "Vote. It gives you the right to complain about the government."
In other words -- if you don't express your opinion by voting, no matter how futile it may seem in the scheme of things, you have no right to complain. Especially when local races, school boards, county races, judges -- all these things directly impact your world.
So -- from another list I am on, with permission. The links are for the state of Texas, but take a moment and answer this question for yourself, where you are -- don't NOT vote because you aren't on the rolls for some reason!
"I believe in voting.
You don't HAVE to vote, but if you don't register, then you can't suddenly
decide at the last minute and go vote.
Monday is the deadline to register in order to vote in the upcoming election
in November. I don't know what all's on the ballot, but I know Texas is
voting for a governor, congressional representatives, bond issues,
and various and sundry other items, I imagine.
If you don't have a voter registration card or aren't sure if you are still
registered to vote, or maybe you've moved, you can look at this site to
check your voter registration status.

Voter registration cards can be found all over the place, including
libraries and state and county offices and and most post offices. If that's
inconvenient for you, there's a spiffy online tool to help you, but read the
directions carefully because I think you have to mail it in once you've
printed it. https://webservices.sos.state.tx.us/vrapp/index.asp"
May this be useful to you! And I'll get back to writing and promoting books. . . .
