Critical time to vote |
| September 9, 2012 |
| In these times of
ridiculous national politics, endless spending,
and oppressive regulation, voting has never been
more important. It is imperative that you
exercise your voting privileges to garner
control over your local politicians and issues. Soon you will be able to cast your vote using the absentee ballot. While I personally enjoy visiting the polls and physically casting my vote, I understand why many use the absentee ballot. Many work constantly, especially farmers, loggers, and truckers. Many are active military whose votes I personally treasure. In recent elections, nearly 30% of ballots cast have been absentee ballots. That is why I am compelled to write this and encourage you to cast an informed vote. Since absentee ballots can be mailed in 45 days prior to November 6, now is a critical time to become familiar with the issues and candidates. Please take the time to learn about the upcoming election and make your choice for who would best serve the needs of our community. |
