It's Go Time!

Today is the day... Finally!
After today we won't have to endure any more political ads.
There will be no more jockeying for position for every position imaginable.
The votes are cast today.

Will your voice be among the millions heard?

Throughout my life I have always maintained the position that if you don't vote then your grumbling about political issues is mute. Some people disagree with that philosophy, but who cares? After all, the government will never be effected by their non-vote. Will the country be effect though?

You see, by not voting, you are giving your strength to another. By not voting, you are allowing one politician to obtain either a larger or smaller margin of victory. By not voting, you are telling everyone around you that you don't care enough about the way our government works to speak your mind. It's not enough to grumble against the policies. It's not enough to write a letter to the paper denouncing the current administration. It's not enough to hang a spray-painted bed sheet on an overpass announcing to the world your view of the political system. None of it matters unless you vote.

Today is the day.
Take a stand.
Choose a side.
Let your voice be heard.

* Please use caution when approaching your polling place. There have been numerous reports of massive armies of Poll Trolls lurking near the entrances. *
