I am sure this is one of about 10 million election-related posts in the blogophere tonight, but this isn’t about my choice of candidate or my trying to convince you why my candidate is better than yours. I am not overly political, in fact, more often than not I consider myself pretty apathetic about American politics.
Nevertheless, it is my right, and therefore my duty, to vote and so tomorrow* I will do just that.

And that is really what this evening’s blog post is about.
I don’t care what your politics are or who you vote for, if you are an American citizen who has registered to vote, by all means get down to your polling place tomorrow and exercise your freedom by casting your ballot… too many Americans have fought and/or died (and not just in foreign wars either, think about the Women’s Suffrage Movement) so you can vote: Honor them by doing so!

(*) Because Texas is a state that has early voting, I could have voted at any time during the last two weeks, but since I have never lived in a state with early voting casting my ballot early seemed rather odd to me. I know that my vote would have counted just as much last week or the week before as it will tomorrow, but I suppose I will feel more like I am part of the process by voting tomorrow.
