VOTE VOTE VOTE

I realize that many of my readers live abroad, but I am very concerned about voters, here in the US, who are indicating that they are NOT going to vote in the upcoming election.

I have never missed that opportunity.

I had a teacher at Oakwood High School, in Dayton, Ohio, my Civics teacher, and he instilled in me a respect for our "system." He was Captain Thomas D. Brown, a brilliant lecturer and teacher who had been in the First World War and had a great deal of respect for out government, and was able to convey his dedication to his students.

If you hear someone say that they are not going to vote, talk them out  of it, regardless of their reason, their vote is very important, and especially in this "crossroads" election. This country is not only at a crossroad, is perhaps our last crossroad. I honestly believe that if this country is not herded into the right direction we could be in a desperate situation.

If you don't vote, you are part of the problem ................
