My one and only political rant

To all legal US citizens:

If you have not done so already, go out and vote on Tuesday, November 4th! I'm not about to tell you who to vote for... if you're of age, you're considered mature enough to make that decision on your own (though honestly, I do question the maturity label given to most everybody nowadays). Just exercise your right and do it! Whether you agree with the process or think it's more corrupt than Halliburton, at least you'll have the experience of having done it.

For many years (I won't say how many), I didn't take advantage of my right to vote. As the political world stormed around me, I sat silent and watched. I believe that those who don't vote do not have the privilege of complaining about the situation. So, whether you think your vote counts or not, at least by voting, you've given yourself the privilege of complaining if things go wrong in your world!

Do a little research for the ballot questions and the local candidates in your state and location. Have a general idea as to where you stand on the issues. Take a minute to go over your sample ballot and Google a few things. Bring your kids and explain along the way what you're doing so that they can appreciate the process as well. Even let your kids fill out a sample ballot!

Just go out and vote!
