Vote!!!

Today's a historic day for our country. The stakes of today's presidential election are higher than in any other election in several generations. Taking the time to vote today -- no matter how long the lines are, no matter how confusing the instructions might be -- is a privilege too many of us may have taken for granted until now. But it's our time now: time for us to be responsible citizens, and do our part to set our country on what we each believes to be the right course for the years ahead.

And in a month or so will start a historic time for DWAA: the beginning of the first contested election for officers in many years. The stakes of that election are high for the future of our organization. By taking the time to vote then, you'll be adding your voice to those who want to have a say in DWAA's future. No matter how you vote: take the time to add your voice. It's a privilege and a responsibility that none of us should take for granted.

I was walking into our polling place today which happens to be a local church when it suddenly struck me how lucky we are to be Americans. Here we are, going to vote, safe & comfortable; no one threatening us, no fear of being shot or hurt as we make our choice known. I feel so proud & lucky to be an American! And an extra prayer of thanks to our military forces who help to maintain this freedom we all enjoy.
