The document discusses the author's interest in politics and voting rights. It describes a book and survey the author used to learn that many American voters do not properly educate themselves on politics. The survey found that while people said they would vote when they turn 18, few could name all the freedoms in the First Amendment. The author urges people to educate themselves by checking news and reading so they can make informed decisions when voting.
