Don't forget to vote!

I have had several people tell me that they are not voting.  A few of them have never voted!  A couple of them are my nieces...they weren't sure of who to vote for.....they just didn't understand the importance of voting.  As I was driving to work this morning I thought about the two service men that lost their lives in Afghanistan this past week and the hundreds of thousands more men and women who have given their lives so that we can live in a country with so many freedoms, including the right to vote.  To not take the time to research the candidates and go to the polls and vote is not only irresponsible; it is disrespectful.  Can you imagine how the families of those men and women must feel to learn that millions of Americans don't even exercise one of the liberties that their loved ones died to defend?  Don't fall prey to the cynicism of our times and think that your vote doesn't count.  Every vote counts and everyone needs to vote!  If you are registered, please take time to vote.  God bless you, and God bless America!
