 One wonders as the time draws near To make our voices heard The difference our one vote makes Or is it all absurd? There will be many millions out To vote for those of choice. What difference to this chorus makes One solitary voice? We vote because we have the right. We vote because we’re free. We vote because men died to let Us choose our destiny. A single straw’s fragility Has strength that can’t be seen But many straws can form a broom To sweep our country clean. When illness makes our country weak We have the antidote. Our future lies within our hands When we get out and vote.  |

Got'cher back! It has to make a difference... but not if we are uninterested in our own apathy! Shake all that off...get out and do it! |

Well said sir... it is our right and our duty to vote. One paid for dearly throughout our history by the men and women who have served our country. |

I ALWAYS vote! It's the only thing that allows me to have a clear conscience when I'm complainin' about why it didn't go my way. A solid piece here... liked the message and format. Keep that flag flying. "We'll chase them like rats across the tundra." |

I hope everyone down there will vote and let their voice be heard for what they believe in. Well said, and I think you should have been a politician.  |

Good stuff, Mike -- History has proven over and over what a difference a single person can make. |

… And more than that. BHO, if the House can bring charges and the Senate will convict, he must be removed. Why “compromise.” He, himself has set the table and has declared that he wants combat with those who oppose him. And since there is to be combat, let us settle for nothing but victory and insist on nothing less than unconditional surrender. Twice in one century the United States, and indeed the world, rose up to preserve humanity and defeat those genocidal tyrants who would have destroyed it. Now we must destroy a Marxist maniac who’s faith calls for the absolute destruction of the human spirit and its eternal longing to breathe free. Joe? He is one of us. We can work with Biden, he will work with us, especially if he is not given a choice If this post appalls and horrifies, then that is good. If admins move to delete it, I won’t argue. |

I vote if only to preserve my right to complain. *G* And since I live in a state that encourages early voting, my ballot has been cast! *S* Wonderful call to the voting booths, Deer One! |
