You want to convince a friend that she should vote. She says that as a single parent she's too busy with her job, her ABE classes, and raising her three school-age children (ages 7, 12, and 16) to have time to think about the election. In addition to this stressful situation, one of her children has a chronic illness, and her family lives in a small community away from medical care for her child.

What would you say to her? What kinds of issues might motivate this woman to vote? What arguments might you use to encourage your friend to vote?
