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 vote straight party. I used to think that was lazy and naughty, but my college advisor pointed out to me that's what we have parties for. Yes, there will be the occasional candidate who is an asshole (or the ideal leader) regardless of party, but usually the candidate's party is a pretty good indication of their positions on things, if not of their leadership ability.
