outheastern and provides anyone who is interested with current information about any legislative happenings that go on in the state capitol. The website is made to accessibly inform campus students or staff about the legislature. Cowser has explained that when more students are then they will soon learn how to effectively be a contributing member to the society. Some students are already preparing themselves for their role in the real world as a citizen by registering to vote and casting their vote for policies they would like to see in action. Gabrielle
Raby recently voted in the Nov. 6th election. Raby is a member of the National Association of Mental Illness and a Northshore News Reporter for the Southeastern Channel. She had casted her vote and tells why she voted, “It’s more than a piece of paper with names on it. The way we take action and choose what we like and don’t like can change a lot more than we think. If you don’t vote and someone you don’t agree with gets elected you didn’t put effort into helping do your part or at least your right as a citizen.
aving the right to vote is guaranteed by the Constitution, wouldn’t it be a waste if we didn’t use that?” Her vote is one o many that will be tallied and totaled, whether her vote is one that will help in the long run can only be guessed.
Voters everywhere are putting forth their part as a citizen and communicating their concerns, making an active, informed decision. Leto is working at the capitol to better his community. Cowser helps share information to educate and help others make informed decisions. Even students like Gabrielle Raby are standing in line to cast a ballot in hopes of pushing forth a better candidate than the next. These people have hope for a better future and environment and their opinions and concerns will be voiced on what they vote or who they talk to. They voice these messages not in hopes for a new candidate, but for a better future for the next generation.
