Vote, Vote, Vote!
Nov 04 2008
As I’m driving our RV across the U.S. and seeing the diversity and wonders of our country (as well as Canada’s. After all, we did drive along the Canadian Rockies from Jasper to Banff.), I’m reminded of the opportunity we have in the States that some other countries do not have – to ignore the annoying political campaign signs that blot some nice roadside scenery. In addition, driving across our country also reminds me of the other great opportunity we have — to be able to vote. So this blog today is a reminder to go out and exercise your right and vote!
As for us, we are not eligible in any state this year to vote. We got our South Dakota license too late to register. Our other option, Nevada (our prior state of residence), requires a signed request for an absentee ballot. After finding out about South Dakota, we were too late to make our request. I’m still thinking about the candidates though.
The point here is to remind any readers to take advantage of one of our country’s benefits, one of the things that makes our country so great, and not to let the work of our military members who protect this right go to waste: even if I can’t, you should get your vote heard today!
