RE: The Mid-Term Elections

Here is the message that I sent to my members and to the members of the other association that I represent, just FYI.

One of the most precious gifts afforded people in the United States is the right to vote for our leaders. Unlike countries where radical and revolutionary elements make the determination of the leadership of their countries, we have a democratic representation that can change without the furor that others experience.

However, that gift is not as much a gift as a ‘right’ earned by the struggle of many patriots throughout our history. I am certain that we have quite a few of those in our own families. Those who are fighting for freedom of choice and those who have given their own lives in the defense of this right and privilege deserve at least the effort on our parts to exercise that right.

Tomorrow, November 2nd, we have that opportunity to exercise that right and I hope that you take the time to do just that. So many people give the usual reasons for not voting such as “my vote won’t count as it is already decided”, or “I don’t know who to vote for as I don’t like any of them”, and on and on and on…you all have heard it before.

For those who do not vote, you are tacitly agreeing that the current situation that we have is OK and that you do not wish to voice an opinion, therefore; you have voted by not going to the pools on Tuesday.

It is imperative that people in our great country utilize this right and privilege that so many have sacrificed for. Many recent presidents and scholars have stated that we are unique in that our system of government has survived for so many years, and it is true. Our founding fathers were more intuitive than most to have crafted a constitution that has stood the test of time. But this will only continue with the citizens of this land exercising that right bestowed on us.

Tomorrow, November 2nd, please take the few minutes that it will take to exercise your right and privilege and vote. Be the leaders of our industry and cast your vote as your heart and mind dictate – just vote!

Thanks
