Former Vice President of the United States of American, Al Gore, reminded me in an e-mail how important 'the vote' sincerely is. He stated:
In 2000, the entire election came down to a small number of votes in one county in Florida.
Four years later, we came up short by an average of nine voters per precinct in Ohio.
A small change in voter turnout would have made all the difference. Take it from me, elections matter.
And this time, supporters like you can make it happen.
That is a stark reality. Our country is about to be reclaimed, but, just a few MISSING voters here and a few MISSING voters there could actually defeat that initiative we all desire to take our country back.
Please remember the words and sentiment of our former Vice President. Please remember that every vote counts and we need all the votes that are rightfully ours to have. We need people that feel strongly about our democracy to vote and in time to make a difference.
It is magnificent to realize the effort to date and the turn out in early voting. I cast my ballot last week. I had made up my mind based on solid commitment to long established American values.
When I cast my ballot, I could not believe that so many at a 'Senior Center' (you don't have to be a Senior to vote at a Senior Center, although that might be a good idea) were coming to vote in a NEW venue of 'Curb Side Voting.' People that normally would stay home or perhaps would ask for an absentee ballot were now coming to the polling area to vote. One women drove up to the 'curb side voting' area in her van. When I looked to see why she needed to be treated specially, it was obvious, she was wearing oxygen and found it difficult to wait in line. She cast her ballot right there, in her van, with the assistance of a poll worker that came to her and provided the necessary ballot to fill out.

Any voter who, because of physical handicap or age (65 or older), cannot enter the polling place in which he is registered to vote, or is unable to stand in line to vote, may vote outside that polling place in the closest available parking area utilizing the vehicle in which he has driven or has been driven to the polls.
That was an incredible moment. How far we have come and yet how far we still need to go.
Please go vote.
If a disabled lady on oxygen can find the will to make it to the polling area to cast her ballot, so can everyone of us.
It's time to take back our country.
Its time to vote.
Please vote and ask all those you know to do the same thing.
Thank you.
