I Voted

Let each citizen remember at the moment he is offering his vote that he is not making a present or a compliment to please an individual — or at least that he ought not so to do; but that he is executing one of the most solemn trusts in human society for which he is accountable to God and his country. —Samuel Adams

There were about forty voters in line when I arrived at my precinct polling station this morning around 6:45 am. It was a cold and rainy morning; several voters carried umbrellas. By the time I fed my completed ballot into the ballot machine, there were probably a hundred or more in line.

Please exercise your precious American right to vote today, then explain to your kids what it means to you.
