The upcoming Presidential election will undoubtedly be the most critical of most of our lifetimes. It is time for us to realize how significant each of our votes will be to ensuring that we will continue to live in the democracy that our grandfathers, fathers, and brothers and sisters fought so valiantly to preserve. It’s time to put politics aside and cast our votes for freedom, democracy and the rule of law. This is not an election to sit out or in which to vote for a cartoon character as a write in. Each vote must be an echo of the same love of country as our great founding fathers.
