Exercise your right to vote – voice your opinion
Aug. 3, 2020 PLYMOUTH VOICE.
Plymouth Michigan News
We urge every voter to exercise their right to vote and voice their opinion on Tuesday.
The voters will choose the choices and candidates the remainder of voters will see on the November ballot. No matter which side of the political divide you support, each voice is crucial to the outcome and the eventual future of the local government and court system, along with taxing levels.
Those who care about public affairs, and those who have a casual attitude regarding the politics of their local communities, have a civic duty and responsibility to their fellow citizens to get to the polls and express their opinions.
