Many people have many reasons to vote today.
But as I drove to my polling place this morning, I realized there is one that unites every American.
I vote at Town Hall. It sits handsomely on a hill, directly across from Veterans Green.
That small park is filled with statues and plaques honoring men and women killed in war.
They fought — and died — for our right to do what we’re doing today.
Let’s make sure their sacrifices were not in vain.

Voting was steady early this morning at Town Hall.
AMEN!
In the words of Chicago mayor Richard Daley: “Vote early and vote often.”
I wish I could.
I worked three election for Hizzoner, and that statement was more than a joke.
Oh, is that today? 🙂
I agree with your sentiment Dan – I have never put my own life on the line for my country, in fact I really only do ONE thing [voluntarily] for my country – vote. While I certainly view voting as a privilege, it is also a fulfillment of my duty as an American citizen.
And let’s thank all of the volunteers who work the polling stations – your community service is much appreciated
A great for America. The right to vote. After all the noise and banners and signs, we are given the freedom to decide on our future today. It’s a wonderful day for all Americans. God Speed CT.
