When Voting Is Not Enough
By Kathy Custren
Ah, the power of our voting voice! While I am not a huge fan of politics for the distracting circus that it can be, I do very much admire the democratic process of voting. Each person may have an opinion, so it takes a bit of mindful effort to make a choice and express one’s conscience by voting.
Voting as Our Civic Duty
A good number of those who live in democratic societies still see the benefit of participating in the civic duty of voting. In the U.S., the eager ones cannot wait to register when we reach the voting age of 18. In fact, one may wonder about those who decide not to join in the fun.
More people truly equate voting with the voice of the people, of having the opportunity to sway the fates, and the endorsement of the populace being heard. United, there is a chance to help choose more than a political winner or victory. There is what many with a more global or cosmic view may perceive as a golden opportunity to alter the course of history.
Often, though, voting is not enough. Volunteering time is always a great show of support. Pounding the pavement, handing out pamphlets, getting neighbors to sign petitions, calling potential voters, messaging friends, and reminding people to get the polls are all noteworthy ways to lend a hand in support of a candidate or cause.
Voting and Money
Many people choose to use money as a stand-in for physical support. Giving funds to a campaign can be a sign to the candidate or to a certain political cause that it carries the backing of the people.
It is very unfortunate, though, to see almost every cause or campaign come to the email inbox with a plea for money attached to it. “Just three more dollars” would be great, they say. “Five dollars could see us winning this,” they proclaim. One has to wonder just how much of the campaign is based on action, and how much is based on greed. What happens to all the money they do take in this way?
