The excitement is building for tomorrow… IT’S ELECTION DAY!!! Tomorrow is the day that you have the power to cause change and have your voice be heard. GET OUT AND VOTE!!! There are a lot of different candidates and issues that deserve your attention and voice. I absolutely love the feeling of going in and getting my ballot and marking each point that I want to happen. YES, sometimes I am more than disappointed that the vote didn’t go the way I anticipated BUT at least I had a say in what and how and who is running our Country, State, County, and City. Remember if you don’t vote you have no right to complain. Get informed and find out who and what is on the ballot BEFORE going into the polls. Go to The Secretary of State’s Website at www.sos.state.mn.us Click on “What’s on My Ballot” and then it will ask you to fill in your Zip code and County. Whaalah it will whisk you to a sample ballot for you to peruse and see for yourself what the issues and referendums and tax increases and candidates are running. Make your choice based on YOUR Beliefs DON’T let any persuade you with their thinking. YOU GOT THIS… Believe in yourself. Believe in your City. Believe in your County. Believe in your State. BUT MOST OF ALL Believe in this absolutely Great Nation and exercise your FREEDOM. It is a PRIVELEDGE to be a part of something so great! VOTE… then sit back and respect the process. If it doesn’t go your way. Respect the office. Respect those that were put into office and pray for better results next time!!!
