Dheera's Workshop of Whimsy

10/03/09

I never ever vote, someone declared loudly at a party the other night. No one reacted or seemed to notice except me. Why, I asked. Oh because I am just not a good citizen, she said evenly.  

            We all need to be good citizens. We must vote. If all of us given in to the thought that nothing is going to make a difference, it really won’t. Can we afford that? In this harsh world turning so violent that no place is safe anymore, are we going to sit back and watch? Should we not try to shape the destiny of our country by electing appropriate representatives?

            Have you registered and is your name on the electoral poll list? Your name can be registered until the last date of filing nominations by the candidates. Please contact the Electoral Registration Officer of your area and find out if your name is registered. All major areas have an official web site too. A photo identification is a mandatory requirement, in the shape of an Electors Photo Identity card. EPIC. So all you need is the EPIC and your name on the electoral roll.  Please go to www. jaagore.com/main.php for further information. Hurry, time is running out!
