 About 253 years ago today, the founding fathers of this nation declared independence from Britain because they had this crazy idea that maybe the people should be able to either rule themselves or pick the people that they want to rule them, instead of having to listen to the guy who just so happens to be descended from someone who just happened to have the biggest army a few hundred or thousand years ago, and that's what we gained when we broke away from Great Britain. And it's important for us as Americans to realize that we have this privilege that not a lot of other countries in the world often have, and that's the ability to go out there, learn about the people who want to be our leaders, and then choose them ourselves. And so in conclusion I think that it's important to go out there, go and research the candidates in primary elections and midterm elections and every election for almost any elected office that you can think of, and it's important to make your voice heard and go out and vote on whatever day it is you need to go elect these people.
