November 5, 2012 – I'm sure that you are, like me, tired of being bombarded by election information. But it is your responsibility as an American to vote, so please head out to the polls and cast your ballot.
And heed the words of the Founding Fathers. Samuel Adams said, "Let each citizen remember at the moment he is offering his vote that he is not making a present or a compliment to please an individual – or at least that he ought not so to do; but that he is executing one of the most solemn trusts in human society for which he is accountable to God and his country. Thomas Jefferson said, "[S]hould things go wrong at any time, the people will set them to rights by the peaceable exercise of their elective rights."
