What A Clueless Millennial Needs to Know About Voting

Amid all the traveling across country right now, and with the United State's presidential elections just around the corner in 25 days, it is hard not to have politics on the brain. Things are really heating up. It can be nerve wrecking and stressful trying to decide what presidential candidate is most worthy of our vote. With all the propaganda and hoopla bombarding us from every which direction, it is hard to know what of it to believe is actually true. Maybe you find yourself totally clueless about all that's going on, or don't know how to get involved?!?
Well, let's change that!
We are truly blessed in this nation to have the privilege and responsibility of getting involved. We need to take advantage of the freedom we have and vote for the presidential candidate we feel will shape our country with the same morals and values that we believe are best.
