Hello Readers,

To everyone interested in the health of this great nation, I encourage you to get out Tuesday, November 2, and exercise your civic duty and vote.

Many patriots have fought and died to make it possible for our opinion to count in this wonderful democratic republic. Election time is a great time to reflect on the heroes of our history and to work to find more heroes in our everyday lives.

The effort each of us makes to participate in this legislative procedure is proof of our social consciousness. Voting is our most obvious means of demonstrating how we feel about the liberty this United States affords us.

Take time to vote thoughtfully. This privilege is ever so important.

Karen
