I’m posting this a day early. Tuesday is Election Day in the US. Whatever your feelings about the candidates might be, Election Day is your opportunity to do something about it.

Do Your Duty – Go Vote!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It’s easy to find reasons not to go. You have to register, then stand in a long line. All those campaign advertisements just made you tired of the whole thing. I get it. But before you whine and cop out, think about the sacrifices others have made in order to give you that right to vote. People died for this. If we don’t participate, we cede the decision to others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, the line is probably going to be long. But look at that as an opportunity. Got to vote411.org<\/a> and learn about the candidates while you wait. <\/p>\n\n\n
