All of Us Together.

Democracy as practiced around the world

including the USA

gives each person a voice. We express that voice through voting.

That voting adds up from among us all. Sure, we form groups

like the Democrats, Republicans, or Independents. How many groups are there?

We choose among those groups by person and by question which can be related to laws, procedures, or money distributions, but most other things as well. We have many ballots to approve or disapprove.

Thus, voters do provide powerful help that shapes the public response in any given moment to an event deemed legislative, judicial, or financial in the government setting. It is a hard job.

Our choices help inform decisions that affect us all.

This is our Power as Democracy voters:

the Power to stand up and be counted!
