We should create a national holiday for voting. A day that is set aside to celebrate the future, and not the past

Created by S.M. on February 06, 2015

The amount of voting participation within our country is extremely low compared others around the world. We were once a country with pride in our ideals, but have been outshone. We the American People propose that there be a day set aside for the act of voting (A National Holiday). This would promote the act itself and bring national attention to the important aspects of voting. By making voting a more common part of society, people will naturally become more interested with the processes of democracy. As a result they will become more educated and active citizens.

It is imperative that instead of celebrating all of the good things we have done in the past - that we celebrate all of the great things we can do in the future.
