Early voting is under way

Early voting is under way - in fact, it began a week ago Monday, Oct 18, and it will end at 4:30PM Saturday, Oct 30.

In just 8 days, the 2010 election cycle will be finally over with the conclusion of the mid-term general election on Tuesday, Nov 2.

However, before that happens, we need to realize that we have both an opportunity and an obligation to ourselves, our community and to our state and country to vote for and elect only candidates that represent our interest and values.

As in this or any other election the polls can’t and don't vote, newspaper endorsements can’t and don't vote, mail outs can’t and don’t vote and television and radio commercials can’t don't vote either.

You and your neighbors are the only part of this whole equation that really matters and we need to be steadfast and determined with our vote to elect at all levels of government only leaders who are accountable to us.

It’s up to all of us to help shape our future, therefore if you haven’t already - don’t forget that you can vote early today Monday, Oct 25 through Saturday, Oct 30, 2010.
