The right to vote is the right upon which all of our rights are leveraged - and without which none can be protected.

I am a United States citizen and I vote.

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.

Voting is a Constitutional right. Absent any evidence of fraud, all Americans have a protected right to vote, be they rich or poor, black, Hispanic or white, people who live in a big city or in remote rural areas.

The right to vote gives every eligible American a voice in our electoral politics. There's too much at stake to stay silent as this right is eroded.

As a citizen, you need to know how to be a part of it, how to express yourself - and not just by voting.

I am an American citizen and feel I am entitled to the same rights as any other citizen.

If elected members of any body - whether it's a state house or Congress - were not willing to take career-ending or at least election-losing votes, I would not have the right to vote today.

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.

Since the birth of our Nation, no other right has been more important than having the ability to vote. Unfortunately, as history has shown, the denial of this right to minorities is a scar on our system of democracy.
