Democracy is...

Democracy is the freedom to choose. It's knowing that people in power can say whatever they want, but it comes down to one thing: everyone that has vote, has a choice. They may choose one party over another because it matches their values, but the important thing is; it's their own personal choice. And in a democracy there's nothing more important than that.

It's the pride that goes with making that choice. When I voted in Canada's most recent federal election, I felt so proud of myself. I entered the polling station my head held high, and showed my identification then stepped behind the privacy screen and marked my ballot. When I was done I came out and place it in the ballot box. I felt proud of myself- I had just made my voice heard and voted for who I believe in. I made my choice.

Today of all days, the freedom to choose is an important one. Americans get to do that, knowing whatever they do they're making history. One person. One vote. One choice. Is there anything more powerful than that?
