One of the great things about our country is that WE are the ones who select our leader. They are not appointed to and they do not inherit the job like in other countries. WE select them by electing them, but the only way they can be elected is if YOU vote and TODAY is ELECTION DAY! Get out and support the local and national candidates of your choice by doing your civic duty that all the brave service people of our country have fought to protect and preserve.

Look at it this way, today is the culmination of all those attack ads, junk mail and annoying phone calls from the candidates, political parties and biased talking heads that we’ve had to put up with the last few months. Now we only got to listen to the pronouncements about analog TV for a few more months. In my area we have an extra incentive. A local grocery has an election day special; a reduced price on a dozen eggs and a package of bacon after you show your ballot stub. My sister always knows we’re having either BLTs, French toast or gnoccis with sauerkraut and bacon for supper on election day.

Seriously, do the right thing and VOTE!
