Your Choice?<br />
By: Dan Hyde / Call to Action<br />
In case you missed it, there was an election<br />
held last month to choose two mayors<br />
and city council representatives for Las Vegas,<br />
Henderson and North Las Vegas.<br />
To say it was shocking that out of a combined voter registered electorate<br />
of 589,177, only 55,867 (or 9.84%) of you actually exercised your right<br />
to choose who will represent you over the next four years is more than a<br />
gross understatement.<br />
What this really means is that most of the public let 55,867 people dictate<br />
who will be making policy decisions that impact all of us. Representative<br />
government?<br />
Are you kidding me? What is so representative of over 90% of you<br />
voluntarily disenfranchising yourselves form the governing processes?<br />
I don’t know of a single person who doesn’t have something negative<br />
to say about those who are elected - and yet, when it comes time to vote<br />
and choose someone new, the vast majority turn a blind eye. You abdicate<br />
your right to choose to the very small minority of voters who DO exercise<br />
that right!<br />
To those of you interested, there is another final election next month<br />
(June 13 th ) to decide several races that did not exceed the 50% threshold<br />
to be elected outright in the April primary election.<br />
DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND VOTE!<br />
