Today we celebrate one of the greatest actions, we, as a free society and democracy, can do -- the ability to vote for the candidate of YOUR choice. Our forefathers of this great country wanted us to live in freedom, and to make sure that we could do so, gave us the right to vote for our representatives in our towns, counties, districts, state and country. This right should not be taken for granted. It always irritates me to no end to hear someone complain about politics in general, then add "Well, I didn't vote". Let your voice be heard and go to your local polling place and VOTE! There is no excuse not to go. Yes the lines may be long and time consuming, but if you weigh out the 1/2 hour to 1 hour waiting on line compared to the next 34,944 hours until our next Presidential election, it is only but a fraction of time.
When you are done voting and are walking back to your car, give yourself a well deserved pat on the back and a hearty "HUZZAH", because our forefathers are proud of you!
