Let's Get the VOTE Out!

Get the vote out this November

Are you planning on voting in the Presidential election this November?  Your vote does count.  In Windsor last month the difference between the winner and loser was 1 vote - YES 1 vote.  Believe me - Leo Canty is very happy that person voted this year.

I have heard people complain about politics, who won the vote, who lost the vote.  But, many, when asked if they voted say NO.  Really?  If you don't Vote, you don't get to complain - you're part of the problem!

I am proud to say that I have voted in every election, local, state, national, and every primary that I was eligible for since 1973!  My parents, and my schooling explained the importance of the vote.

More than half the people eligible to register to vote, wouldn't have been able to in the 1st hundred years of the United States.  We weren't white men!  So we fought for the rights of all persons to be able to vote - and now people are ignoring their rights!

GET OUT AND VOTE - BE PART OF THE SOLUTION - NOT PART OF THE PROBLEM!
