Election Day Philosophy
Jean Sexton Writes:
Today is Election Day in the United States. As citizens of the United States, we choose our leaders. This is both a right and a responsibility. At ADB, Inc., we are not pushing you to vote for a particular candidate, a particular stance, a particular belief. We are simply urging you to vote. Vote as your conscience dictates and do your duty as a citizen.
As my father says, "If you don't vote, you have NO right to complain about anything that happens. You gave up that right when you didn't exercise your responsibility and vote."
Never let it be said that a single vote doesn't count. In one town in North Carolina they ended up flipping a coin to see who would be mayor because it was a tie. A single vote would have made the difference.
Today, don't let that missing vote be yours.
Steven Petrick Notes:
I spent a decade of my life wearing a uniform and prepared to carry a weapon in harm's way when and as needed. That does not give me the right to tell you HOW to vote, and I have never done so. But I do echo the above sentiment. I do not care who you vote for, as long as you do vote and vote honestly (do not waste your ballot by writing in Mickey Mouse, if you cannot vote for someone, at least try to vote for the one that will do the least harm while in office). There is a truth right now that no matter how many people we know and would like to have in the oval office, there are only two people who have a chance, and you should choose one of them (again if there is not one you can wholeheartedly support, at least choose the one you believe will do the least harm).
It is, however, your choice. I will not tell you who to vote for, only that you should vote. Do that, making the best choice you can based on the information available to you, and you will have done all that I can legitimately ask of you as a fellow citizen.
