Political Proposition: Think, Act, Vote!
by: Kristie Stremel
Super Tuesday has come and gone, but do you know where you stand in this political battlefield? As motivated and excited as everyone feels about the upcoming presidential election, many are struggling with the choice at hand. For many students at GCCC this could be your first opportunity to exercise your right to vote. In order to make an informed decision we need to look at the key issues and see where we stand. Often this can be an overwhelming task. We hear many sides to each candidate but it seems we never truly know what each candidate stands for. One way to get an idea of you political priorities is take an online quiz meant to identify how your views align with the candidates. Log onto www.wqad.com/Global/link.asp?L=259460 and participate in this quiz. Although not necessarily scientific, it provides insight not only to political beliefs but provides an opportunity to compare personal beliefs with each candidate. It allows one the capability to look at each hot topic issue and compare views with each candidate. In the end this survey, which only takes a few minutes to complete, will provide a ranking as to which candidate best fits.
This quiz, however, is only one way to make an informed decision. Continue to read information about each candidate—both past and present trends each represents. Subject yourself to dialogue with peers about the topics that directly and indirectly affect you. This is truly an historic election—one that provides a truly diverse plethora of candidates. And most importantly, exercise your right to vote.
