Why Every One of Us Needs a Voting Plan
You’ve heard the message repeated for months: Make sure you’re registered to vote. You have to vote — by mail or in person. It’s your right, and obligation.But for people with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD or ADD), it’s not that simple.
Our best-laid plans go sideways. We forget the date. We forget the time. We forget our wallet; we get busy; we just plain don’t feel qualified to make a choice because there’s always more research, more issues, more late-breaking news.But we’re Americans.
And an American’s most precious right is the right to a government of the people, by the people, and for the people. “It shall not perish from this Earth,” said Lincoln in the Gettysburg Address.
So we have to get off our couches. (Did you know that only 58% of eligible voters went to the polls in 2016, according to PBS?) We have to keep the great engine of democracy moving — and that means voting.And I say this knowing that’s not easy.
