Third week in and I am already having trouble finding topics, which is just simply a problem of setting myself down to think and find sources. This week I have been thinking about the primaries and actually right now I am sitting down to fill mine out. The thing that it got me thinking to is that it does not matter about race or getting a block out to vote we just need to get people to vote regardless of race. The United States is has some of the worst turn out rates, I personally would not be against making it a holiday and forcing people to vote, but that will not happen anytime soon so something needs to be done. The Vote or Die campaign was sort-of successful even though hypocritical Paris Hilton did not even vote, but more needs to be done. A measly 54% of Americans vote. Data seen here on wikipedia--I know, not the greatest source, but the sources are reliable.

Latinos the world over need not worry of getting together, but simply getting out to vote.
