Priorities...what are our priorities?

I watched a documentary on Terri Schivo and how each family has a priority, not that each side is any less than the other, but it brought home the fact that a politician's life should be driven by priority.

Proper representation requires the representative to represent the priorities of the majority; this is why it is so critical to vote, to participate in the democratic process.
We all have a responsibility to vote our conscience, pocket book, our inner conviction of what is right and what is wrong.  The apathetic outlook on politics has some feeling helpless and overwhelmed, questioning, "What does it matter if I vote?" this is the exact reason that one should vote!!  Because one vote, one person is the criteria of this democratic country, it's in part the reason that people sacrifice to give us the freedom of choice.  The battlefields of this world have been littered and filled with human sacrifice of people protecting our rights and freedoms at the very least to disagree.
