Mid term elections are coming up in U.S. Both the Democratic and Republican party are vying for control of the Senate and House of Representatives. What if everyone who was concerned about the direction of the country volunteered to work for the candidate of his/her choice? Whatever the outcome we’d have a more engaged populace. We’d have the feeling that we made a difference in the election’s outcome. Working for the candidates of our choices is a better option than complaining about and demonizing opposing candidates.

Something to Think About
A great right in democracies is the right to vote. We can vote between competing candidates who express competing ideas. When we don’t vote, we forfeit our right to have a say in who governs us. Sometimes our votes are for winning candidates whose views we support. Other times, our votes are for the losing candidate and the opposing candidate wins. That’s the way it is in a democracy, the majority vote counts. We accept it and move on, grateful we had a chance to vote.
