Vote!
[Oct. 28, 2008] Editorial - Just a moment, got to get out my old soapbox once again, here goes---

In just a few days Americans will once again go to the polls to select the leaders of our government with our right to vote. Many Americans have given their lives to preserve this right for you and for me. This is not something that should be taken lightly; neither should anyone ever think that their one vote won't make a difference. We are a country of individuals and regardless of race, creed or financial status each vote counts the same - we are all equal in the voting booth. Make your voice heard - VOTE!
