"[Right of certain citizens to vote established] The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race,color,or previous condition of servitude"---Amendment 15

From the desk of the Editor of the csaccac eNewsletter:

For decades,people from all walks of life aggregated to the United States to live the American dream.Today that dream has been plagued with economic uncertainty,political faction,and slow job growth. Despite the many obstacles and hurdles facing the American people,the Constitution of 1787 continues to stand and remains intact in each of the fifty states. One of the most important amendments to the Constitution,the 15th Amendment that allows citizens to vote. Decades after Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation of 1863,the voting process on local and National fronts remains one of the most highly recognized fundamental human rights in the Democratic process,especially,among Afro-Americans and minorities.Ratified February,1870,the right to vote is considered a basic human right. Veritably,a tantamount of Americans feel that voting isnt just a right it's a responsibility that shouldnt be taken lightly.During specific periods in American History, women as well as Afro -Americans both worked to gain equality and the right to vote. A long hard fight,it took years of protest and public outcry from women and Afro Americans to gain voting rights. Several decades after the Women's Suffrage Movement 1848-1998 and the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960's, women and Afro Americans has secured their right to vote. As a matter of fact,women including people of all colors continue to exercise their right to vote. In 1989,I casted my first vote for a Presidential candidate at the age of eighteen. From the very rudimentary stages of my public education,I learned the importance of casting a vote. With all the obstacles and hurdles facing the American people, the voting process makes change not a dream but a reality. Voting brings within the grasp of communities,families,and schools ,the actualization of improved social conditions. As the 2014 Presidential race slowly encroaches,I'd like to remind each of you "One person can make a difference," Right at the moment ,the 2014 Presidential race remains weeks away on the calendar;however,you can begin to make a difference this November,on November 5th by casting your in local and state elections. Every Vote Counts,2013!

"We the people of the United States in order to form a more perfect Union,establish justice,insure domestic tranquility,provide for the common defense,promote the general welfare,..."---Preamble

Rock the Vote!
