Please keep in mind that each state has different voting rules (which means the qualifications for voting are different). If you can't get access to a computer or cell phone, please go to a library or Department of Motor Vehicles to fill out a voter registration form. You should get something in the mail that tells you where to go to vote on November 8, 2016. Below are some links where you can register to vote online.

The Truth About Hillary Clinton & The Crime Bill
Hello Everyone,
I don't know how this mess got started about Hillary Clinton saying African Americans are super predators back in 1996. But I know one thing, whoever started this about Hillary Clinton was not telling the truth. The African American Community has been mislead by the media (I don't know any specific people in the media). Some people in the media intentionally picked bits and pieces of what Hillary Clinton said. Now, let me tell you something about some people in the media and I do mean "some people" : It is their job to take things that are really said and twist it around and make it seem different and bigger than it really is, this is how they make their money. When some media companies "edit" videos to make it look or sound like something else, people get the wrong message about other people. There are some news media companies you can trust and there are some news media companies you can't trust. When people look at the "edited" versions of the tape on news channels and news websites, when Hillary Clinton says the word, "superpredators", please notice that Hillary Clinton's first part of the speech has been cut off and it goes right to the part where she says a sentence that has the word "superpredators" in it. In my opinion, there are some African Americans who owe Hillary Clinton an apology. Hillary Clinton has been mistreated and misunderstood by people who don't trust her. There are probably some African Americans who looked at an edited recording of what Hillary Clinton said about the crime bill back in 1996. If you're going to criticize someone, at least now the person better and extend your research. Now CSPAN went back in their video records and found the unedited recording they did back in 1996. Now back in the early to mid 1990s, crime was and still is going up at a large rate (and that is the honest truth). But Bill & Hillary Clinton always stood up for African Americans and other minorities around the world. I trust both of them. I'm with Hillary Clinton. The truth is Hillary Clinton has NEVER been disrespectful to African Americans. Hillary Clinton NEVER said anything bad about African Americans. Hillary Clinton has NEVER referred to African Americans as "superpredators". Please watch the entire CSPAN video.

The Importance of Voting (Revised)
Hello Everyone,
I've just watched Willie D's video about the 2016 Presidential Election. Willie D was part of the rap group The Geto Boys. According to Willie D, we as African Americans shouldn't vote in the election. Ok, I, Shaunta Simone Williams, think that is a bad idea. Not exercising your right to vote doesn't make our issues in the United States any better. When people ask you why are not choosing to vote and decide to advise you, you're not "being bullied" as some people say. Too many people have died, have been beaten and had their skin torn off their backs not for you to choose which person really has your best interest at heart. Black people who exist today and not choosing to vote in the 2016 Presidential Election wasn't there when black people in the 1950s and 1960s were being gunned down by police (and police have been doing that to black people for years, this problem just didn't start today). Black people who exist today wasn't there when black people from the past were getting lynched. It is easy for African Americans who exist today to say that phrase, "I'm not going to vote".
Black people who exist today wasn't there when black people from the past were facing unfair justices such as sitting in the back of the bus, going to segregated schools and receiving different types of education. And trust and believe when I say that black and white people had different types of education. In the past black people where told that they couldn't be a lawyer, a doctor, or they couldn't have a high paying office job position, because they wanted to keep black people at low standards. In the past black people were sitting separated from different races, using segregated bathrooms (where white bathrooms were clean and colored bathrooms were dirty), and using segregated water fountains. Black people who exist today wasn't there when the KKK were implementing terrorism by making threats to black people from the past and burning crosses in front of their houses. Despite everything that happened to some African Americans during the last couple of years, African Americans who exist today are at the easiest time in their lives because they have the choice of what school and college and high paying jobs they desire. In places black people can sit anywhere they want. African Americans from the past when through hell really bad and had a difficult time in the United States of America. Despite all the ugliness that has happened during the last few years, African Americans cannot afford to "not vote". This 2016 Presidential Election is entirely too important for African Americans or any other minority in the United States to miss. The strategy of not voting is going to BACKFIRE, plain and simple. Every decision, choice that you make in the back of your mind has a consequence. If you really think black lives do matter, then prove it, cast your vote during the 2016 Presidential Election.
Whether you vote or not, what happens in the United States will still affect you as a U.S. citizens. When you do your part in voting, it is like you are having your say in the U.S, you who are part of the people are speaking, making the government hear you. When you vote, you are saying I want a better life, a better life and education for the children. But when you don't vote, you are choosing to stay silent and letting everything ride. Once again, you can't afford to sit and watch, you have to take action. Get out and VOTE!
Sadly, several Republicans in the USA are eagerly doing whatever they can to change our voting privileges (sending us back to the days of Jim Crow). If you, as an American citizen, don't use your right as to vote, then you don't have the right to complain about anything. If you as an American citizen don't use your given right to vote in the Untied States, then you are doing what your oppressor (Donald Trump) wants you to do. If you don't vote, not only you are doing the will of your oppressor, but you will be fulfilling the dream of the majority, who all these years viewed you as an animal and "property" and who (the majority) have hated the day that you as a human being have been given the freedom of a voice. We as the minorities of the United States need to exercise our right to vote because we have been intimated, whipped and forced into silence entirely too long in America. Now, if you don't like the candidates that the people of this country has chosen, I'm asking you to choose your battles wisely. Personally, I like Bill and Hillary Clinton because I remember both of them during the Clinton President Term in 1992. Bill was a wonderful President for the USA and Hillary is more than just the First Lady. Hillary Clinton was in politics all her life. I don't like Donald Trump because he is racist (in my opinion) and he doesn't know anything about politics and people will see that during the General Election Debate. As an American you must realize how important a vote is worth. When you vote, you are voting for change, you vote for a better atmosphere and better environment, and you vote for better rights.
