    My Vote is Important

    I will vote for politicians who build schools, clinics, bridges, and roads, and also give us clean water. I will not vote for politicians who give us small gifts like t-shirts or bags of rice in order to win the election. Small gifts are good for just me. Big gifts are good for everybody. A good citizen cares about others. I am a good citizen. I do not want small gifts for myself. I want big gifts for everybody.
