Do me a favor, please?

I will be away for this weekend catching the Breeders' Cup races and may not be back until late on Monday so I want to get this message posted before I disappear...


If you are eligible to vote and registered to vote, please be sure to go and vote next Tuesday.


I don't care if you vote for the candidate that I will vote for. I'm not going to tell you who I am voting for or bore you to death with the reasons why I made that choice. To be blunt, I really don't care whom you might vote for or why just so long as you vote. Voting is a responsibility of citizenship in a democracy. So please take the time and make the effort to go and vote.


To the Moderators: I have no intention that this thread will turn into a political harrangue but if it does, I apologize in advance and I'd ask that you take it down. I happen to be one of those people who believes that things will be better if more of the citizenry is "invested" in the election processes and so I wanted to urge members here to go and vote their consciences.
