Vote and let your voice be heard

Vote early by mail or on Nov. 4. Your vote is important and it really does count.

Some folks say that they're not voting because it's not a presidential election. They don't realize that the Congress and Senate men and women are really the ones who get things done (or not).

Some aren't voting because all the calls, commercials and negative ads have simply turned them off to politics. Well, that is a sure win for those big money companies that buy up the air space for negative ads. By listening to the negative ads, we are let to believe all manner of things that are grossly distorted, if not patently false. This bullying makes us angry, but we shouldn't stay away from the polls. Check out the truth on candidate websites, listen to the debates and for sure vote.

At the polls is where the real voice of the American people, who live, work and raise their families is heard loud and clear by those who need to listen to common folks like ourselves.

See you at the polls.
