Eugene Farrar - Most Important Community Action (clip)

Interviewed by Hudson Vaughan on January 12, 2010

Eugene Farrar: Again this picture demonstrates some of the things that, that is very dear and near to my heart is the registering of people to vote. Because I think if you register to vote [it] is one thing, but then voting is another thing. You need to have people’s vote counted, it–it’s good to have…

EF: Being on the register, as being a registered voter, but your vote only counts when you go out and participate and pull for leaders in the voting booth because it speaks to power. Voting speaks to power. If you had your vote counted, then you can put in as much say or have a say in the political things that people do.
