I don’t care if you’re a Republican, Libertarian or Democrat, if you value your freedom, your rights, your paycheck and your country, get off your duff and vote. I don’t care if you haven’t voted since the Truman years – get registered (if it’s not too late in your area) and drag yourself and others to the polling place. The more I read about who Barack Obama is, the less I care about John McCain being a grumpy old man. I’d rather vote for Old Grumpy and Sarah Palin than tax-and-spend socialists who don’t value human life, human liberty, Constitutional freedoms or free market capitalism.
Take your time to check out the voting record of your senators and representatives and vote for candidate who best matches your values. Chances are, it’s not going to be a perfect match. Tough cookies. There’s too much at stake to quibble over details.
Volunteer at your party’s local phone bank or offer to drive other voters to the polls.
Don’t wake up on the 5th of November wishing you hadn’t been too lazy to get involved. Do it. Now.
