Election Season!

Presidential Election

In the upcoming election it is important now more than ever to make sure your vote is heard! The two main candidates Mitt Romney and Barrack Obama are essentially neck and neck and election day is tomorrow. When considering who you are going to vote for I would greatly encourage you to vote for Obama. It is clear after analyzing both candidates Obama is the superior choice, I will show you why you should vote for Obama using three key points.Firstly, Obama supports a woman’s right to choose by ensuring abortion in cases of non-consensual rape, incest, and unwanted pregnancies. In the constitution we are granted certain inalienable rights, surely the right to your own body is one of them! Even if you don’t support abortion don’t make it illegal for those who have unwanted pregnancies, this law isn’t forcing you to get an abortion.

Obama also has a very notable position on another social issue, gay rights. Obama is pro gay marriage whereas Romney is very anti-gay. If you feel gay marriage should remain not an option think about it this way, if a gay man and a gay man get married one thousand miles away how does this in any way infract on the sanctity of your marriage? In fact some of the main reasons for being pro gay marriage aren’t spiritual at all, not allowing gay marriage prevents gay men and women from visiting their spouses if they are terminally ill because they aren’t considered legally married. Pro gay advocates don't wish to hurt you, or diminish anything you believe in, we only wish to grant certain privileges associated with marriage to the gay community because we believe everyone needs to be treated equal.

My last point in showing you why Obama is the superior candidate is Obama supports the people who need help. This is evident through Obama’s tax policy versus Romney’s, I will warn you now however, if you are a rich, white, male making millions of dollars you will probably oppose these ideas. Obama’s new tax policy is comparable to Robin Hood, Obama wants to raise taxes slightly on the upper class and lower taxes on the middle classes because the middle class is struggling in this economy and the very wealthy together can spare small amounts of money to better the nation as a whole.

Ultimately if you don’t vote for Obama, I would still encourage you to vote (for Obama) tomorrow, what’s the point of having a democracy if the people aren’t heard!
