This is a big election with big issues. This must be understood. As college students, we should feel obligated to become informed. Only we, as individuals, are responsible for that. Unlike the last several elections, this is not a situation where we must pick the lesser of two evils.
In the coming years we will deal with two ongoing wars, the largest economic crisis of our time and a host of other issues. Our choice can change the direction of our country, and of our world.
The university has made it maddeningly easy to vote, as have Get Out the Vote programs. Take advantage of this.
Living in Florida for this election is of utmost importance as well. As a swing state, the fourth most important in the country, the Sunshine State will be a heavy factor in deciding the path of our nation.
When Nov. 4 rolls around, don't just say whatever. We very well may be the deciding factor in the upcoming presidential election.
