I am a United States citizen and I vote.

Voting is how we participate in a civic society - be it for president, be it for a municipal election. It's the way we teach our children - in school elections - how to be citizens, and the importance of their voice.

To be a good citizen, it's important to be able to put yourself in other people's shoes and see the big picture. If everything you see is rooted in your own identity, that becomes difficult or impossible.

I am the epitome of a citizen legislator.

I always preach that you have to be active as a citizen no matter what, and some people just voting as an excuse not to do anything.

I'm a very bad citizen. I've never even voted.

I am not a politician. I am not in politics. I'm just a citizen.

I wanted to participate in the political responsibilities of an American citizen. I wanted to vote. I wanted to be a full member of the American community. I made America my home country. It's my identity in many ways.

I did become American citizen in order to vote. I lived in this country for a very long time and I finally reached the point where I thought, I'm often sticking my neck out on various issues as all human beings have a right to do.

Citizenship is a tough occupation which obliges the citizen to make his own informed opinion and stand by it.
