The power to choose

We the People

What does it mean to be part of We the People? I feel quite powerless in this nation in which I live and was born. Yet, I have the right to choose. It is a right that nothing can take from me. Some call it a God-given right. Others don’t agree with the word God. Regardless of what it’s referred to as; it is a right that no situation, no person, no set of ideas or rules, nothing on Earth can take this right to choose from me. Not even my own sense of powerlessness can remove it. I have a right to choose what kind of country I want to live in, even if I can’t make the country match my perhaps idealistic desire. You also have this right.
