The reason I posted is that so far Barack Obama appears to have the political will for change. He is one of the only reasons I am considering voting. I want a strong leader that will solve the most pressing issues (Global Warming, Social Security, Education, Immigration Reform) that are affecting our long-term stability as a nation. The current administration has made too many bad short term decisions that are affecting our long-term stability.
As much as they preach change there is never enough significant change for me to go out and consider participating in the political process. Why bother voting if that vote is meaningless, because the choices are limited to politicians that do not have the political will to change what needs to be change as painful as the change may be in the short term.
The “greatest generation” took on incredible short term sacrifices that no generation since, in my opinion, had to endure. However; we call them the “greatest generation”, because they improved life in the U.S. long-term more than any generation since. Our current leaders and the generation in power have a choice to make be a great generation or be known as the worst generation. Show me the political will to solve the issues of today and I will vote and I will sacrifice so that my children have a better life.
Please feel free to add your opinion on why you don't vote.
