As I listened to the news yesterday, I was reminded that today is the last day for early voting. It’s hard to imagine, but the election is Tuesday. I have heard so many of our customers enjoying a cup of coffee in the break room discussing the pros and cons of this election and I would like to throw my two cents in. Years ago my father gave me some very good advice. He told me that I should never talk politics or religion at work so you can rest assured that I am not going to try to persuade your vote.
I have an 18 year old granddaughter who is eligible to vote for the first time in this election. She has asked many questions and voting has been a conversation at many of our family dinners. My advice to her is the same advice I have given all of my employees. Take time to educate yourself. Learn about the candidates and their platforms. Make your decision based on the information you research and not on the news media. Make your decision because it is how you feel and don’t be persuaded by friends or family. Your vote is your vote. You do not have to share with anyone who you voted for. You simply need to go out and VOTE!
The only wrong vote is the one that you do not cast. Our forefathers fought and died to give us the right to vote. Please do not take this privilege for granted. Go out and vote! God Bless America!
