There’s so much I could say. I could go on and on about the scandals, about the hypocrisy, about the failed policies, about the divisive tactics, about the lack of progress on countless important issues, etc. But that’s not what this post is about.

We live in a truly great nation. In my opinion, the greatest in the history of human civilization. And one of the things that makes our country so great is that we, as citizens, have the ability to determine the future direction of our nation. Or at least, that’s the way it’s supposed to work. But it doesn’t work that way if we don’t do our part.

Decisions are made by those that show up. It is not only our right; it is our responsibility to participate in the democratic process. If you don’t like the government you have, then do your part to change it. Because if you sit on your hands, and do nothing but complain about what you don’t like, or what you don’t agree with; then you are part of the problem. So do your homework, educate yourself, and vote.

I don’t care what your political persuasion is. You may agree with me on the issues, on the candidates, or you may not. You may think I’m brilliant, or a raving lunatic. On this one issue, our similarities and our differences are immaterial. Whether we agree or disagree, we should ALL participate this coming Tuesday, and exercise our Constitutional right, and our civic duty, and VOTE.
