Americans Should Be Able To Vote

How lucky are we to be able to live in the land of freedom and the country that has equal opportunities for all its citizens? Many of us take those opportunities for granted while there are other people in this planet who dream of being here and having these opportunities. Furthermore, there are a lot of people who don’t seem to understand an important right and privilege that comes along with freedom. That privilage is known as “voting” which allows the people to take part in what’s happening with the country and the government.

The physically impaired, handicapped, will also be affected because they can’t really do anything alone and can’t vote for themselves. Voting is essential in the United States system for the reason that many people back then fought for this important privilege to vote.
