Importance of the Vote

In hopes that democracy will prevail.....

Americans should take heed of the importance of the democratic process and the luxury of the vote (NY Times article re: Sierra Leone). There should be no more excuses of why we couldn't get to our polls. And, perhaps we should discuss more about making Election Day a national holiday where business shuts down to accommodate that democratic process, where children are given better educational opportunities to learn about elections, and where neighbors have time to actually talk about and understand politics.

Rise up and speak to create the peace you desire!
