I am not going to sit here and tell you about the greatness of one candidate or another. I just want to make sure that you get out and vote. I don't care for whom. You more than likely have a number of other important elections in your area as well. Two-thirds of the states have Senate seats up for election. The entire House of Representatives is up for re-election. Some states have Governor races, and don't forget about the Municipal level as well.

I know that there are a lot of spoil sports out there that think that one vote doesn't count, but that is completely erroneous. What if everyone had that opinion? Yes, very few races are close enough that there are fewer than 10 ten votes between candidates or issues/props. Your vote is just a drop in a bucket, but without your drop America will dry up. Go out and VOTE!

I will leave with something that was sent to me by some unknown person. I hope that you enjoy it as much as I did
