VOTE: It Is What Our Soldiers Are Fighting For

Daily we have fine young men, soldiers fight and die in Iraq. We see men, women and children killed on the streets of Iraq daily. For what? Democracy, a right to VOTE and choose their own governing officials. But not here. Kootenai County only had a 24.57 percent voter turnout in the primary. There is no REASON not to VOTE, vote early, vote often (oops forget that one), vote by absentee, vote on the election day and first-time voters can register when they vote. So, if you did not vote, do not "whine" about taxes, health care, property tax, low wages, etc.

Also, to you parent's that do not vote, just think of the example you are setting for a future generation. I love to take my grandson with me when I vote, he is always so proud of his "I voted" sticker.
