If you are not registered to vote, you need to get busy! I have added a site (to the right of this post, under my picture) which will direct your efforts in this matter and there is no more excuse for not being ready to take action this coming November.
I am writing this because of an email I received from Gary Bauer (www.ouramericanvalues.org).
There, he quoted President James Garfield (President Garfield's picture is above left, little resemblance to Gary Bauer). Our twentieth president put the importance of voting plainly when he wrote in 1877:
“Now, more than ever before, the people are responsible for the character of their Congress. If that body be ignorant, reckless, and corrupt, it is because the people tolerate ignorance, recklessness, and corruption. If it be intelligent, brave, and pure, it is because the people demand these high qualities to represent them in the national legislature. . . . [I]f the next centennial does not find us a great nation . . . it will be because those who represent the enterprise, the culture, and the morality of the nation do not aid in controlling the political forums.”
There are no better words to express the responsibility of our citizenry as we face the upcoming election. My friends, while we are 53 days away from the November 4th election, we are just 24 days away from the deadline to register to vote, which is October 6th in most states. Please take a few moments to make sure you and all your like-minded friends and family members are registered to vote
