Nan,

Although as a conservative, I imagine we would disagree on many things political, I hope you will reconsider your decision not to vote. It can take hard work to become informed, and I confess that too often I have passed over voting for a local office because I’m not familiar with the candidates. BUT…

The preamble to our Constitution says “We the People”; as one of our greatest presidents (Harry Truman) said of the presidency – the buck stops here. Please remember the risks and setbacks our forefathers (and mothers) endured to secure our right to vote. If we leave the field to the cynical and corrupt, we will get the government we deserve. Let’s persevere, despite short term losses, to win the government we need.
