Fellow Citizens of Denver:
A fundamental right afforded to the American Citizen is the RIGHT TO VOTE, to “Participate in the Process.” If one has the opportunity to vote and chooses not to do so, in essence that person is saying, “I don’t care”, “my vote won’t count”, or “things won’t change.” Well, you are right; unless you vote, they won’t change!

In the last Presidential election, over 40% of the voters chose not to exercise this right. Closer to home, in the last Denver Municipal General Election, out of over 400,000 Denver Registered Voters, only 23% voted for the Mayoral candidates. There was a slightly higher percentage rate for Council Members-At-Large at 27%. In some Council Districts, a few hundred votes would have changed the present City Council makeup.

The opportunity for change arrives again next May. To put this in the right context, hundreds of thousands of young men and women have given their last full measure so that we may continue to exercise this most cherished of freedoms, please don’t squander it.

GOD Bless America.

George Mayl, INC President 2018-2020
