Letter: Please vote

To the editor:

Every couple of years I talk to people who say they have “nothing” to do with politics and government and that they will not vote. I beg to differ. The most important people may be the 50 percent or more who will not vote. Everyone participates in politics each time they drive, buy gas or a pack of gum or anything else. Government is also involved in your workplace and home. Those who sit on the sidelines are not doing themselves or the rest of us any favors. Get out and vote and get in the game.
