It is not a choice.

But here in America it is a choice, and it is a basic right that we hold near and dear to our hearts.

Unfortunately, more than half of the American voters choose not to vote.
Many people believe their votes don’t matter, that somehow they don’t count.

That’s not true.

All voices count and all opinions matter.

The hard-working people at BlackVoters.org are working hard to get that important message across to one of America’s most disenfranchised people through grassroots efforts.

I encourage all community leaders to support this cause and help get the word out to the black community – and other communities that shy away from the election polls – that voting is a right, a privilege and civic duty.

The choice is yours. I hope you choose to vote.
