"The vote is precious. It's almost sacred,..." - Quote by John Lewis

“Obama is not an African American president, but a president of all Americans. It doesn't matter if you are black, white, Hispanic, he's the president of all races.”

“Too many people struggled, suffered, and died to make it possible for every American to exercise their right to vote.”

“I'm very hopeful. I am very optimistic about the future.”

“I voted for you during your last election.”

“If everybody voted, then it would completely change the political map in this country.”

“If you always vote for the lesser of two evils, you will always have evil, and you will always have less.”

“We need to understand that we as citizens and as a government in any community throughout this country have no more important obligation than to educate those who are going to replace us.”

“It's a shame and a disgrace that so few people take part in the political process.”

“Our whole system of government is based on "We the people," but if we the people don't pay attention to what's going on, we have no right to bellyache or squawk when things go wrong.”
