Vote!
Vote? Are you serious? Why should I vote? I used to be one of the Americans that felt that way, that did not exercise their right to vote. I did not know then how terribly wrong I was. I did not then understand that people fought for the right to vote. I did not know that people died for the chance to vote. How stupid of me to not exercise my fundamental right to vote. This is a historic year for the U.S; this is the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment to the U.S,. Constitution which gave women the right to vote. Well, I should clarify-it gave white women the right to vote. It was the Voting Rights Act of 1965 that gave everyone fair and equal voting rights. As the field of candidates narrowed in the Democratic Party in this year's election, I hoped that a woman would be the front runner for the party. Now the official nominee is Joe Biden. For his running mate, he chose senator Kamala Harris, the first woman of Indian and Jamaican descent, to be on a Presidential ticket. Sh
