A Plea From Abroad

"Dear listener, well may you ask, 'Why is this limey whining on about our country, when, it's nothing to do with him?' I have no vote in your presidential election yet it's outcome will directly affect my future and the future of millions of other people around the world. Forgive me for putting the immense responsibility on your shoulders, but I implore you to take part in the democratic process this year however imperfect it may be. Remember, when you elect a president, you are electing a president for all of us. Please be more careful this time."

- Billy Bragg (English musician) 1988
