At Last ! We the People Choose
November 4, 2008
Election 2008 has finally arrived. The interviews, the speeches that polls, and the predictions will finally be over. Casting our votes is the privilege of a democratic society. It is important that we take this privilege seriously.
Based on the number of folks already in line at my polling place at 6:50 a.m. this morning, we may finally get a respectable turnout. It has been so sad in past year when only 20%-30% of registered voters exercise the right to vote. The presidential campaigns this year have perhaps been over covered by the media, but if the result is a high voter turnout and a high concern for the outcome, all the media coverage will have served a useful purpose.
Don't let the rain or the long lines stop you from voting. The future of our country may well depend on your vote. In any event the outcome of this elections will shape the next four years.
