Some Election Day Thoughts

I thought I would deter a moment and give my thoughts regarding election day. Please go out and vote! I know people out there think that their vote doesn't count (unless you're in Ohio, because apparently you're the only state that matters in this election), however now is not the time to be apathetic! Americans didn't get the freedom that we have today by luck. Brave men and women died for our country so we could have the right to vote. Susan B Anthony fought for women's rights and we need to continue to show appreciation for what has been done for us. Imagine if you lived in North Korea, Afghanistan or Syria. Good luck voting and your vote truly doesn't count. So no matter who you are voting for, please make sure you educate yourself on the candidates in the national and local elections even the question ballots. Don't vote along party lines even if you don't like the candidate. If you're a registered Democrat, it's okay to vote Republican, if they share the same values and stand for what you believe it. The polarization of our politics is what is really bringing this country down. We are so concerned with voting with the party just to make people happy, even if we don't believe in it.
So go out there and vote, no excuses and play like a champion.

That is all.
