Free?


On the 7th of November Myanmar is holding an election for the first time in 20 years. But it really isn't a real election. There are over 2,200 people in jail for what they think. So it really isn't a majority of the people voting because most of them are in jail for what they think. They Don't have the freedom to express there self even in a peaceful association, they are all silenced.
In Maine Today we are voting. When I turn 18 I do plan on voting. I might not always want to but I plan on trying to vote. I think I would value the opportunity to express myself more if it was taken away because I am one of the people who like the say what they wont when they won't. I would not like going to jail for saying my opinion.
