When you step into the voting booth on Tuesday, you have a unique opportunity to personally help shape our national policy and the direction of this country. Please try to never make the mistake of voting a straight party ticket regardless of who is running under party banners.

The powers that be of both major parties are turning up the pressure for you not to think for yourself and blindly follow their urging and vote straight Democratic or Republican. Don't fall for it!

There are candidates of both parties who do not deserve to be elected. Know whom you vote for, regardless of which party they belong to.

The old adage "Bad leaders are elected by good people who don't vote" is timeless and holds true today.

Does anybody know anything about the non-Presidential candidates where they are? Is that presidential with a small p?

I make it persoanlly very important to know all I can about my local elections. I do this because although the President and Congresspersons have a lot of say nationally, but the state reps and county and city positions are where the real issues that effect me and my family directly are. Example: the state superintendant of schools is on the ballot here in WA and I did a ton of research into both women because of how I feel about how the public school system is run now that my kids are in it. One of my biggest pet peeves around election time is that too many superior court judges run unopposed, and most people vote for them since they are the only ones for that slot, even though some are so crooked and horrible and every single time I just wish they'd get voted out with a no faith vote.
