Some places on this earth do not let the people have a say in pretty much anything. Then there are countries, like ours, where the people do have a voice, but sadly don't always use it. Today is Election Day. This year we seem to be hearing about it more than ever. It has always been important.
In the United States, the people decide who holds office. We choose our mayors and governors and legislators and sheriffs and of course we the people decide who will be our president. We have the power! State and local propositions are there for our consideration too. There are important things for us to decide on. Sadly, some folks never even register to vote and of those who do register, many don't even bother to cast a ballot. Don't be one of them. Let your voice be heard!
It's sad when we have this incredible right and we ignore it. To be able to shape our towns and states and our country is a great privilege that, as I said, folks in many parts of the world cannot do. Will we see results this week? Some, but possibly not all. It takes time to count votes. This year it is expected to take much more time. Turn on your tv and watch election returns, but don't expect to go to bed tonight knowing who won each and every race. Before you watch those results though, let me again remind you to
VOTE!
