Election Day Reminder

VOTE!

It is the most basic responsibility of citizenship in this country. Our ability (and right) to vote separates us from so many nations, we should consider this right to be both precious and significant.

I voted absentee this year for the first time in many elections, and it still feels good today. I know that I have participated. I hold no delusions that my choices will agree with everyone else, but I am certain that my voice has been heard. Above all, I can (and often do) speak volumes about the foibles of our elected officials, knowing that if I disagreed with them I did so at the ballot box.

VOTE!

Election Day

Californians: Go vote.

Those who would not vote today are left without complaint.

And I have plenty of complaints.

If You Do Nothing Else...

It's June 3 - Do You Know Where Your Vote Is?

Uncle Woody just wants to take this opportunity to remind you young voters to get out there and vote today. Of course, Uncle Woody is more interested in you Republican voters, as we seem to have a bad habit of avoiding elections where nothing is really in danger of changing. I mean, we didn't do too badly in February when we really, really wanted Romney to kick McCain's borders, but in this primary we have no incumbents here in Orange County, for example, who seem to be in imminent danger of defeat. That's when we Republicans get lazy. So go vote today.

You Democrats can vote, too, for all the good it'll do you. You still have "Peyton Place Meets Falcon Crest" to deal with. Good luck with that.
