Upcoming Election

I know that I haven't put out any blogs on here in quite a while. This is entirely due to my ongoing struggle with Polycystic Kidney Disease.

If you follow my PCKD blog, you'll know that, overall, I am doing a bit better. However, I still am lacking the mental energy to write about the current events surrounding all of us. I want to only write with a clear, logical and educated voice. Unfortunately, what mental energy I do have does not allow any of this to happen in a concise and well-written manner; so, I don't write...for now. Once I have my transplant I am sure I will be back to my former self, and be making regular entries. Until then, I can only provide small glimpses. Which is why I am here today.

With the General election coming up in about three weeks time, I thought I should get on here to remind everyone that they need to get out and vote!

Pick up your local voter pamphlet, study it--understanding your local referendums, elections of city, county, State and Federal appointments, judges, etc--and know before you go into the voting booth how you will vote on each item on your local ballot.

I always take a piece of paper with me that lists my vote for initiatives, referendums and all elections. It's ok that you do this!

Please, be an educated, informed voter in this coming election! If you choose not to vote, then you have no say in how your local and Federal governments are run. However, if you vote, be sure you are voting for the best candidate in each item you vote in. Forget about parties. Ask yourself, "Who is the BEST candidate for this job?" Then, vote according to that decision.

This Presidential election is one of the most important elections in my memory. The very heart and soul of the United States is at risk, and how you vote will determine the future of this country.

So get out on election day! Go early! Be informed and be a part of what makes the United States the greatest country on earth!

Please...VOTE!!!
