The Island Now

Primary day in New York is on April 19 and is a time for all registered New Yorkers to get out and vote on who they would like to see as our next president. 

I will not try to convince anyone on who to vote for but to just get out and vote. There are those out there who say, “Its the same old, same old.” 

Than there are those who say, “My vote doesn’t count.” 

Well I believe both reasons are just bogus. We live in a democracy and we have a right to say who our leaders should be as a forefathers gave us that right. 

All the candidates have a few things in common and that is their love of our country and what our American flag represents. 

They also want to make America a safer place to live and how to make America a better place to live for ourselves and our families. 

The question is how they intend to accomplish this for the greater good. 

Now that being said, please get out and vote on April 19!
