Your Voice: Why a Woman’s Vote Matters

Tuesday, October 9, 2012 by Janice Shaw Crouse

Why should women vote on November 6? The short answer: because it is your right as an American citizen and, more importantly, because it is your duty as an American citizen. Think of all the women around the world who are not allowed to vote; many would give anything to have that privilege, and yet, so many Americans take their right to vote for granted and shockingly do not avail themselves of it.

What is at stake in this year’s election? On the national level, it is nothing short of a crossroads — our nation will either choose a path that leads back to our founding principles or it will continue on a path towards a larger, more intrusive government that seeks cradle-to-grave entitlements and the decline of personal responsibility and religious liberty.
