Make Sure You VOTE in the New York Primary!

This is a letter I had to write for Social Studies to our town newspaper. The goal was to convince people to vote in New York's primary on February 5th. GO VOTE!

Why don’t people vote? I’m only a kid, but already I can see reasons why people should vote for our country’s leader! We need to vote to make sure a leader gets chosen who is rightly suited for the job! The said leader must know how to keep America safe and how to run it properly. He or she must see not only what he wants for the country, but what us, the citizens, want, too. These things should be their goal!

Our president makes huge decisions for the United States! You should go out and vote in the New York State primary on February 5^th to make sure that a person gets picked to be the leader who will make the correct decisions! The decisions that the president of the country makes, believe it or not, can and will affect you! And if it for some reason doesn’t affect you, it will affect others-neighbors, spouse, children, friends, etc. You want them to be happy, right? Then you need to get out and vote, and make a difference in our country, and in the lives of others.

Besides, don’t even think about complaining about things in our government unless you voted, because otherwise you’re complaining about something that could be different.

If you vote, you have a chance of living a happier life because you know that you are in good hands. If you are able to vote, go do it, on February 5^th, and make a difference in you life and other’s. Let’s pull together and make a difference!
