    When first entering adulthood, it's always a great feeling to become eligible to vote. A feeling of freedom to express your preferences in a new world of "one man, one vote." You're now equal to every other voter who qualifies to sign his name under his favorite candidate.
    Keep in mind always, that no matter how well off you are, or how poor you are, you always have the equal opportunity to vote! Voting is the one time you're just as valuable as anyone else.
    That's the beauty of a true Democratic Republic, when you can truly attempt to elect the representative that promises to help run the Government the way you prefer it being done. Remembering though, one representative can pass nothing, create nothing without the help and agreement of the rest of the legislative assembly or it's elected Leader. Be it City, County, State or Federal. Their power is limited to what they recommend and goes no farther if the majority disagrees. They become Salesmen trying to sell their ideas to another salesman. It can be as simple or as complicated as that!
    This is where you enter the picture, as far as understanding politics is concerned.
    Beware of the politician who says he or she, if elected is going to change things as though they're the only power to decide what's going to change. It's simply not that easy. It depends on how good a salesperson they are, and how reasonable and sincere they are in their presentation to the other elected salespersons. No individual is going to accomplish much of anything alone, and when they promise they're going to, beware of that politician, because he or she isn't telling you the truth. I'll personally only vote for them if they sincerely say they'll try.
    Once they become seasoned Politicians,(Salespersons), they are now in a position to sell their beliefs to you. (The tables have turned now, haven't they?) It goes without saying! Most of them are guilty of it, regardless of political party. Unfortunately they're now speaking for the other influences they have met since entering office, The special interest groups who have the money to back them in the next election. ( It has now turned from sincerity to monetary value). Wink, wink!
    Now it's up to you to determine who's telling you the whole truth, and how much of what they tell you is the "real" truth. this is a little more difficult to determine, since they're all guilty of masking the real facts when it suits their purposes. But you can protect yourself to the degree of determining who's telling the least lies, by researching a lot of the "facts" on the internet. Even then, you have to keep in mind who placed it there.
    You can tell this by being honest with yourself first of all! Human's have a tendency, if they like someone enough, to allow themselves to be lied to even though in their heart, they know the politician is being insincere in order to cover for himself or herself, or another politician of the same party. It happens all the time. The secret is to decide who is lying the least, that's all.
    I have made my own determinations only after I found the News channel that I know gives me ALL the news rather than just part of it. If you're living in the U.S., It's "FOX NEWS."
    If you're a new voter, you might be wise to review the "U.S.Constitution" and the "Bill of Rights". In my estimation it's vitally important that you do that. The reason I say this, is because in the past decade there has been a tendency to ignore it to satisfy the wants of "Special Interest" groups. However, in the past three years, It's gone from a "tendency" to a full fledged assault on people's rights by misuse of those two all important documents. I believe it's now a "desire" by these groups to change the meaning and content of them to suit their own aims and needs regardless of how it affects the rest of the "Silent Majority" population.
    The "Wall Street" protesters are the garbage end of the Special Interest Groups, who use them as a tool to disrupt what little Democratic Republic we have left.
    My advice to new voters is to make an honest attempt in determining who's REALLY telling you the truth before you put your mark by their name.
    Don't vote for anyone who would spend this Great Country into monetary oblivion. Chaos is a weapon on their side and if you watch the news on Fox, they'll explain to you what the outcome will be.      Just sayin'.
