"Some men think that voting doesn’t matter. That no matter who wins an election, things won’t change. I’ll tell you this: That is a self-fulfilling prophecy. Take nothing for granted. Not your vote. Not your government. Not your rights and freedoms. Doing so by most men is exactly what has brought men to these bad times. The ultimate responsibility for how the government works, or doesn’t, rests in the hands of the citizens of this country. Elected officials respond to people who bother to vote more than to those who abstain. Men have much more power than most in Washington would be comfortable with if they saw men using it." Jerry Dean.
This gender-voting gap has caused unbalanced political sentiments that are not equal at all with respect to gender. With over 9 million fewer men voting than women, the political ideals being implemented are disproportionately female. Our government is lacking in balanced input because men have a sorry voting record for over forty years. MensVotingAlliance.com is a non-partisan organization.
