annual reminder – vote
It’s election day, everyone – get yourself out there and vote. Unless you’re here in Virginia (where election coverage is never-ending) or New Jersey, you likely have a slate of local offices on the ballot, but those are terribly important; those folks – school board members, county commissioners, etc – are closest to you, and have a huge impact on your life, so don’t skip this one, or any election!
I voted on Friday (I was out running errands in the afternoon, and saw the line at the early voting location at the courthouse was short, so I stopped, was in and out in a few minutes, and met a couple of candidates for the House of Delegates besides.
I’m never going to stop crowing about this, folks, because it’s damned important – for all kinds of stupid reasons, Americans are all about their rights as citizens, but pay little attention to their responsibilities – the vote is perhaps the most important responsibilities you have as a member of society.
So please, do your part, and maybe take a few minutes to consider your responsibilities as a citizen, and how important they are for you, your family, your community, state, and nation.
