It is the first Tuesday following the first Monday of November in these United States. It is Election Day. Here in the State of Concrete Gardens - and in Virginia - the ballot is topped by a gubenatorial election. Regardless of what the headline clash is on the ballot where you live, invest the time required today to vote in it.
There is an oft-repeated misconception that the United States is a Democracy. It is not. It is a Republic. The populace does not make the decisions. Rather, we vote for the men and the women we entrust to make the decisions. We the people therefore have our say in the decision-making process by determining by whom those decisions shall be made.
Eight simple words. One simple truth.
