***Public Announcement*** (Ive been thinking about doing this for a minute) 3 weeks from tomorrow is the mid-term elections in the United States of America. For all my American FB family and friends, please get out and exercise your constitutional right and VOTE!!! Too many people, from our inception; the revolutionary war, to the civil war up to today in the middle east & beyond have shed blood and tears for this right (& others too) but this one is at the root & the foundation of this country. Too many people, especially politicians, like to quote the constitution for their own agenda & rile people up.... yet there are far too many of us who are fed up with the process and dont want to be bothered or they forget or become too occupied with life to participate in what Washington, Adams, Madison, Jefferson and others envisioned for our Great Land; in the process... risking their lives!!! Our history has countless numbers of men and women from all corners of this earth who came to the US (by difference means) and also RISKED their lives for this right. We owe it to them. We owe it to all of them that came before us because remember, others will come after us one day... As much as we complain about how things are going today, we also have a lot to be thankful for WHICH we take for granted. ok, Ill wrap this up now... all Im saying is lets start a movement where on Nov. 4th 2014 & every 2 (TWO) years thereafter, we each #1) VOTE & #2) bring at least one other person to the polls to vote or at a minimum, encourage one other person to vote & hold that person to it. 37% of eligible voters participating in mid-term elections is NOT what this country was built ON or FOR. It is SHAMEFUL!!! and 50+% during presidential years isnt that much better either. (check out the link to see for yourself) This goes out to all my Green party, GOP, Democratic, Libertarian, Whig (if they still exist) and Independent FB family and friends.. conservative, moderate, liberal, progressive, however you classify yourself doesnt matter one bit.. just vote... WE!!!.... can make a difference.... if we choose to. infoplease/ipa/A0781453.html
