Here in the U.S. we will be making our voices heard with our votes on many issues from city, county, to state. Many will be for measures and propositions on what may be the local and state issue, while others are for those who we believe are best to represent our interest and for the betterment of the community and nation as a whole. Over the years the right to vote has expanded from property owning men to all men to all men and women of all races. The right to vote is the most important right we as citizens of this nation have. Many will make claims of "voter suppression" and "voter fraud" and "ballot fraud". And while there is truth to some of these claims, we still try to put our trust in the system that it will be a truly fair system that allows all citizens voices to be heard who have gone to the polls and filled out their ballots and submitted them as per the laws stated.

When voting, please be sure to do real research into what is being asked of you to vote on. learn about the person who is running for what position and the effect they will have. do not just vote down party line out of some strange misguiding loyalty or tradition. Don't vote based on feelings created by propaganda and political activist. Don't vote on just popularity. Know what the impact will be on not just others, but your self too. Look at the finical impact and if such a thing is viable or a waste.

I'm not going to ask or say who or what to vote for as that is your decision and right, I just ask that you vote as a properly informed electorate and not be swayed by propaganda, ideology, and the bias of others.

And of course, get out there and vote!
