La Prensa series IV of V on 2008 Latino Voter Turnout Plan
Ramón Pérez continues with the series he is writing on the 2008 Latino Voter Turnout Plan. This is another great article and I highly recommend reading it. The focus of this week’s article is on, “You Have the Right and Responsibility to Vote”.
While the article is focused on the Hispanic/Latino community, the advice given is something we should all pay attention to, as an example:
The responsibility and protection to make sure all eligible Latino voters vote lies within each and every one of us who know first hand or understand the significance of the 1965 Voting Rights Act. The rest of you better read up on this part of the history, because ignorance is no longer acceptable.
This year’s Toledo elections will be just as important as the presidential election in November 2008. Why? Because, six district council seats are up for grabs and they will determine the kind of quality of life your family and your neighbors receive, especially since city services and police protection will probably be reduced drastically in your neighborhood if you don’t register to vote and more importantly actually vote.
Lisa,
That’s very good advice for us all.
And in these overspending times, nothing is safe.
Every time I go past the Northwest police station I keep expecting to see a For Sale sigh out front. . .
