Turnabout in Voter Turnout

It’s amazing to me all the complaints I hear about our government, be it on the city, county, state, or federal level. Yet less than half of the voting public turned out June 2 to try and make changes.

And what happened to the anti-incumbent movement? At least locally, it wasn’t effective (i.e., three county supervisors made it back into office by large margins).

I didn’t mind those who criticize and complain; in fact, I’m one of the best. But I feel as though I have that right, as I at least try and make a difference. I write letters to those in office, make calls, sign petitions and cast my vote.

Forty-five percent of us have a right to complain, 55% don’t--and to those, either get out and vote or stop your whining and complaining. Either put up or shut up.
