Casting My Vote for Candidates Who Share My Concerns
Today is election day! The day when all us average joes can go out and cast our ballot for a brighter future. In small towns and big cities across the country, a paltry 35% of eligible Americans will go to the polls to decide various state and local races.
I beg you, oh informed and enlightened ones - cast your ballots!
That is all.

I early voted! Granted, only one seat was contested - but that was the one I really cared about;)
We voted by absentee. It is especially important to vote in small local elections because (1) your vote weighs even more and (2) many environmental changes are happening at local levels. :) Thanks for reminding us all to vote.
You are so right, green bean! I was a poll warden yesterday for our municipal elections. The turnout was less than 20 percent, and as a result, one School Committee seat was decided by a single vote.
And this isn't the first time. Our current mayor was also elected by a single vote, although the margin widened to 9 or 10 on the recount. Local government has a huge impact on the environmental issues of our everyday lives (I know, because I work for that mayor), so voting in local elections is an easy and very effective way to make your voice heard.
