The 4th of July

Why do we celebrate the 4th of July?

Do you really know?

Do you feel thankful
that our ancestors earned
us the right to vote?

They rebelled
and went to war
with their king

So we no longer have to
pledge allegiance to a king

We don't have to have a rebellion
to get rid of those in control

We can use that vote to get rid of
those that make laws we don't like

But to do that we must use our vote
where it counts: in the primary election.

This is where the change has the most effect.

If both sides select new faces with new ideas
then the general election will have new representatives.

This 4th of July celebrate by making a vow
to take people to vote in the primary election!

(inspired by the recent increase in property taxes
voted on by our elected officials)
