Toronto, Canada--

Why am I writing this letter? I am not an US citizen, but I have relatives that are. You will have an election that is a match unlike any around I have seen in my time. We had our elections recently that had the lowest voter turnout due to voter's fatigue. We went to the polls 3 times in 4 years. I believe we will get what we ask for if we do not act upon our passions and dialogues that we have online, offline, on the town-halls, on televisions, on the street, on your dining tables, or on your place where you go and play. We cannot sit where we are at even if we do not want to vote. Change cannot come any sooner. Yes, that is true. Yes, politicians comes with lots of promises. Yes, voting seems to be waste of time, and may not be doing any difference, remember, if enough people do that, there will be a problem. Ineffective governance and not exactly the voice of the people that are reflecting at the governments. There is no such thing as wasting votes. I cannot ask you how to vote. I always remember what JFK said about: "What can you do for your country?" Now remember that the rest of the world is watching you to vote with great interest.
