Tomorrow is Election Day and while it may not be for the president, you should still go out and vote. I remember the pride I felt when I voted for the first time back in 1972. Some people get so turned off by the negative campaign ads, they don't vote. However, as AC Weekly editor Mike Epifanio noted in his excellent editorial in last week's issue, "If we don't take the time to educate ourselves about the candidates running for office, then the people who create their campaign ads are the ones who end up running our government." http://www.acweekly.com/view.php?id=5447&issue_id=152
Despite the fact that terrorists threatened to shoot voters, an estimated 57% of eligible Iraqi voters went to the polls in 2005. We don't have that excuse. Even if you have to get up earlier, drag your butt out of bed and vote before you go to work, or get your required sleep and vote after work.
This is a government of the people, but not if you don't bother to vote!
