Please remember to vote

Too many people have fought and suffered and died for your right to a franchise. Please don't squander it by not voting, even if you don't like the choices. It is the voice of the people that makes this nation strong.

As I serve as an election judge on Tuesday, I'll be thinking of all my friends and loved ones, and praying for a better tomorrow for all of us.
