We’re entering the silly season of politics again. Does it ever strike you how many politicians say, “Vote for ME” when they meet you? I understand name recognition and why putting that name out there is necessary. But in the constant litany of “Vote for ME”, some of them never get around to what they will do for YOU. They’ll talk about their platform if you ask them, but generally you don’t get much opportunity. They’ll badmouth their opponent WITHOUT you asking, but that’s not much better than hearsay at that point.
Next time a politician says, “Vote for me”, put them on the spot and tell them, “No, if I go to the polls, I’m voting for me. Now tell me why it’s worthwhile for me to spend that time and invest my vote in you.” Voting is important. Be an educated voter and make sure you’re voting for the right person for you. Not for the flashy ad or for the party that your parents voted for… Vote for YOU!
