Brad Lail pitches RailRiders to win over Buffalo

<p>As of July 22, the U.S. population is estimated at 324,251,146.</p><p>The 26th Amendment allowing 18-year-olds to vote was signed by President Richard Nixon in July 1971, 45 years ago. I hope all the citizens over 18 will vote in this election.</p><p>I heard various politicians and citizens say they are not voting in November because they don&#8217;t like the presidential candidates. They should be ashamed. That is an insult to every military member who fought for our freedom.</p><p>Perhaps people feel it&#8217;s a race between the &#8220;lesser of two evils,&#8221; but one has to be better than the other.</p><p>Don&#8217;t give up your freedom to vote. I feel if you don&#8217;t vote, then don&#8217;t complain for the next four years.</p><p>Every vote counts. Think about the past few presidential elections; some were lost by less than 10 percent of the vote. Use your common sense: Either you want it to be the same for the next four years, or you want things to change for the better. </p><p>There are really no excuses for not registering to vote. You have the voice of freedom. Use your voice to vote in November. </p><p><strong>Lauren Telep</strong></p><p>Olyphant</p><style>
