Whatever your political affiliation or inclination..... remember how important it is to exercise a right so many people and more recently women, have died for the right many of us take for granted. I not sure how our ancestors would feel that voting has become so common place that it can be forgotten or pushed aside because we have too much to do in a day. So go on, take those few minutes to remember the gift we have been given and the responsibility we bear.

Vote for Richard Fish for Brady Township Supervisor!
And take your kids to see you vote so they are comfortable with the process and know that the voting location is not some deep, dark, scary hole!
I did vote. And educated a few people about how voting in America was not always "private". You used to go stand next to the person you voted for - The whole town knew how you voted. And they candidates would hand you a cold draft beer when you came to their side - maybe that's why more people voted back then.
And I did take my son - of course he was loudly asking if I was voting for McCain and doing his happy Republican dance when he saw they were on the ballot. He has so much to learn!
