Calling on my civic duties.

Yesterday I posted a letter, a letter which I sent to both the White House and to the Maricopa County Recorder.  You see my county had approximately 600,000 provisional and early ballots yet to be counted when the announced the winner of a highly debated sheriffs race here in Phoenix.  One in which the incumbent only won by 80,000 votes.  
Being in a city like this, with a sheriff who is not only locally, but Nationally recognized for his racist attitude toward any and all minority, but more often shown to Latin decent, you wonder;Why so many had to cast provisional ballots?
To me, it is a sign or rather showing of our 'system' failing us as citizens again.
I urge you, to call on your civic duties and to stop this abuse of power before it is too late.  While I know some may argue that has been surpassed, and that it may in fact already be too late, I have only this to say; What did you do about it?
Debate is great, however actions make change.  So if you are at all concerned our President (he is the President whether you voted for him or not) has made his office accessible, by email, letter or phone, I urge you to take a step and work with our democracy.  
Without citizens participation Democracy cannot function.  I believe it is time for our voices to carry the miles to reach our leaders, so that they can once again and hopefully better than ever before, be for the people, and by the people.
