Where's your purple finger? |
| |
| Election
results from this past March indicate that less
than 10% of our Precinct's voters came out to vote.
That is so hard for me to grasp as I think about
the images beamed across the television of Afghanistan
and Iraqi citizens stood for hours upon hours to
exercise their new found freedom of casting their
votes and participating, for the first time in their
entire lives, in the political process. The jubilant
faces of pride and honor as voters emerged from
the polling places were like that of children after
opening fantastic Christmas presents. The most lasting
memory of all, however were the purple fingers of
the voters; being held high, like badges of Honor.
Of course, the voters had used a finger dipped in
ink to officially mark their choices on the ballot.
Where
are the purple fingers in Precinct 8 or Bolingbrook
as a whole for that matter? Do we just take our
freedom and democratic power for granted? Or do
we not have the time or knowledge of the issues
and candidates at hand? Is it perhaps easier to
let other people make the hard decisions for us-like
how our tax dollars are spent and by whom? On
November 8th, we get yet another chance to "dip
our fingers in the ink of democracy" at our
local voting polls. What color will your finger
be at the end of the day? |
