Your Vote - Your Voice

Today we will elect the next President of the United States. The result will have great consequences for the nation.

This election offers a choice between two men with dramatically different visions of the future. While I have strong feelings about this choice, I feel even more strongly that all Americans, regardless of political preference, have a stake in the outcome and should vote in this critical election.

Your vote matters. Please use it and make a difference.

Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost.

I was this close to using the Adams quote on my blog entry for today...but decided to go with the John F. Kennedy one instead for a chuckle, because I think many people might need a laugh or two during these hours.

I agree, Scott, that the act of voting is what's most important, no matter which oval you fill in or line you connect or box you check.

I just filled in my oval 20 minutes ago.
And it felt great.
