Guantanamo Bay to Shut Down, Terrorists Brought to Mainland
January 20th (Miami, FL) – Just minutes into the beginning of this administration, the new President issued the first of what would end up being ten Executive Orders. While it is traditional for the White House to provide the press with the text of such orders with detailed explanations and examinations beforehand, this President opted to surprise everyone and only produce that information after announcing them to the world. With the ink of the President’s signature still wet on the official documents, many questions remained about not just the logistics of the President’s actions, but on the legality.
Examining the Excuses
If I were to tell you that the most powerful people on the planet are the one's who don't vote, would you believe me? If your immediate answer is "No", I wouldn't blame you. As a registered voter, myself, I have participated in every election since I became eligible. To me, the act of voting for public officials is one of the most important things one can do in a democratic country, and I see it as my civic duty every November 8th. However, and it may not surprise many when I say this, but a large amount of people in the United States, as well as around the world, don't exercise their right to vote. They are, in essence, voting not to vote. Moreoften than not, you'll hear one of two things in regards to the issue of why people don't vote. Either you'll hear a remark of shock/dissapointment followed by "Well, if they didn't vote, they shouldn't complain." or an excuse as to why other people (or they themselves) refuse to exercise their right and participate. By the time you've finished reading this, we will have went through some of the main reasons/excuses as to why people choose not to vote; as well as establishing some refutations; encouraging others to reevaluate such stances on the matter.
