Vote

I know you may think a post about the election doesn't fit here, but that's not necessarily true. This blog is all about Patti and remembering her. One of my earliest memories from my friendship with Patti is of her getting on and staying on me about my voter registration status.

Patti valued the right we have to vote in this country. She was very patriotic too. Every single election, national or local, she would always "remind" me to get out and vote.

I admit, up until about 10 years ago I did not exercise that right very often. But when I became friends with Patti... well, I don't think I've missed a voting opportunity since.

It is one of the most valuable rights we have as American citizens and we should all register and get out on election day and cast our ballot. Especially in these uncertain times. I feel this election is the single most important of my lifetime so far and very well could be the most critical the nation will have as a whole. America as we know it could be changed forever... for the good or bad.

Do not take anything for granted and don't let anyone in the media or your daily life discourage you or make you think for ANY reason your vote does not count. Get out and cast your vote Nov. 4th. It's your opportunity to influence the well being and future of our country.

Let's all go make Patti proud! :)
