I sat down for a while this evening with my voter's guide, and I'm now prepared to do my civic duty tomorrow - I read through all the initiatives, and marked up my sample ballot, so I'll be able to waltz into the polling place tomorrow and quickly and efficiently make my voice heard by my government.
I feel very strongly that every single citizen of the United States has a responsibility to do this, so if you live here and are eligible to vote, please take the time to go and vote tomorrow. We might not be electing a new president, but there are important races and initiatives on the ballot. And if you think your vote "doesn't count," don't believe that for a minute. The only way it doesn't count is if you don't get to the polls and VOTE.

Think FL in 2000....
Seriously, though, that's more reason than ever to GET TO THE POLLS. (And I know you'll vote, M, but I'm sure there are people who think about things like that, and decide to stay home). If we give up, they win.
Or, as Tim Allen said in Galaxy Quest (my personal favorite movie to quote - forgot about that Socrates guy!!!), "Never give up, never surrender!"
