Your Voice - Voting
Is your voice heard? It can be, due to the thousands, if not millions, of lives lost in the pursuit of freedom. The right to vote is one of the freedoms that our country gives its people.

It is for this freedom that we separated ourselves from England. But even then everyone wasn’t free to vote, only the white men could make their voice heard. People like Abraham Lincoln fought for the black man’s right to vote. Today their efforts can be seen, now everyone has that enduring right to choose. In 1920, the 19th amendment to the Constitution was made, that gave every woman the right to vote.
