Get out and vote


    It’s about the time to think about voting. I know George Washington or Lincoln is not running but we still need to do our civic duty and meet our obligation to vote.
    So, you don’t think your vote counts or doesn’t mean anything or it takes too much time, the lines are too long, it’s the weather, I can’t go out? Well, tell that to the millions who have died, who have sat in foxholes in the rain waiting for who knows what. Tell that to Bowe.
    People, let’s show our brave men and women that their fighting and dying is not in vain. I always thought I had a felony to where I couldn’t vote until recently I got checked out and realized I could actually vote for the first time in my life, what a feeling!
    I don’t care who you vote for, just get out and vote! That lousy 30 minutes is nothing compared to what our brave soldiers are doing for us. God bless every single one of them.
