Don't Forget to VOTE Next Tuesday

As a follow up to my column from May about voter apathy with a call to try to get out the vote

DON'T FORGET TO VOTE ON TUESDAY

It is amazing to me how many people are worried about how high their taxes are.  There are also many people that seem to be concerned that unemployment is too high.  Many people complain about the high cost of health care or that they want the government to keep their hands away from healthcare.  People are worried that our education system isn’t what it is suppose to be and that our children are falling behind.   All of these seem to be important topics that are on people’s minds, but then relatively few people show up on election day.

Mid term election are notorious for low voter turnout.  They are also notorious for the party in power losing that power.

 This year the "Tea Party" has made it even more interesting by hijacking the Republican Party and taken it for a ride.  The only problem is that when people feel like they have no hope they will turn to just about anybody who they think has different ideas.

... Tea Party protests have started what is suppose to be a revolution of sorts.  It still remains to be seen if it will make a difference in this year’s election.  Many of the candidates that have been recognized as “Tea Party” candidates have been making news for less than flattering reasons...

I would prefer that people like Rand Paul and Christine O'Donnell stay as far away from the US Senate as possible.

...On Tuesday November 2nd Hoosiers will head to the polls to elect the people that will lead us into the future.  Many Federal, State and County leaders will be chosen and it is our right and duty to make an informed decision at the polls.  I hope you will take the time and do the right thing and vote.  The right to vote is one of our fundamental rights as citizens and everyone  that is able should exercise that right...  

If the system is to work the way it was intended then we must all do our duty and VOTE on Tuesday November 2.
