it's messy, but it works Essence of a democracy
Belleville News-Democrat, Nov. 1

Tomorrow is your chance to fulfill your most basic duty to protect this democracy.

Go out and vote.

Do it because young men and woman are dying to spread the right to Iraq.

Do it because Afghan women exercised the right despite death threats. They gained the right because our young men and women also sacrificed for them.

Do it because there was a time when your great-grandmother couldn't.

Do it because, if you are black, there was a time when your parents couldn't.

Do it to honor the teachers who gave you the ability to read and make an informed choice.

Do it because you work everyday and want to protect what you earn.

Do it because there are ideals we inherited from our parents and religious leaders.

Do it because if you don't, someone else will decide the future of your county, your state and your nation.

Polls are open 6 a.m. to 7 p.m.
