Dear editor,

As citizens of this great nation we live in, we are very privileged because we have a numerous amount of rights that other citizens of other countries do not have.

One of the most basic, yet one of the most important rights we share is our freedom to choose who will lead our country. This may not sound like a real privilege or freedom, but I assure that it is.

Imagine not agreeing with your government and being killed or held hostage as a direct result of your disagreement.

With this in mind, I hope that you as a citizen will make an effort to do what is best for this country by exercising your right to vote Today.

No matter which party you feel would be the best choice to represent you in parliament for the next years, you have an obligation to express your opinion and vote.

So please do every one a favor by exercising your rights, getting out there, and voting. If not for you, or for me, then for the advancement of our beloved country.

I assure you that after the election is over, even if your party does not win, you will feel much better because you made an effort to do what you sincerely felt was the right thing for your country.
