I voted, why don’t you
Since I’ll be out of town on voting day, I went out to “rock the vote” today doing early voting. Now I want to say this loud and clear. I don’t care who you are, or what you believe. I have two requests.
The first is for everyone who is eligible to go out there and vote. I don’t care who it is you are going to vote for, whether you vote for the same folk I did or not does not matter to me. What matters to me is that you exercise your right to vote. Many people who have gone before us have fought and died for you to have that right. Don’t let them down.
The second is that you make an informed decision based on your own set of values. In my case, my decisions were based on the information at hand about the ballot items (candidates and/or initiatives). I took this information and based on my values (largely dictated by my faith), I made a decision. If there was a ballot item I was uncertain about, I left it blank and berated my self for not being better informed. Most of the blank were the local races here in Gallatin. I just haven’t lived here long enough to get a good feel for the local politics. So take that as an example of who you can make an informed decision.
Again I beg, please consider voting next week.
