The End of the Beginning

Here it is, tomorrow's the big day, unless of course you're one of those who had an "early" big day. I know I've said it before, but I want to sincerely thank all those who have posted and commented on this blog in the past two months. I personally have found many of the discussions very helpful and have enjoyed learning about others' opinions and views.

I encourage everyone to vote tomorrow and to make sure that everyone they know votes, too. Regardless of how we may feel about the impact our vote has on the outcome or about the worthiness of the candidates on the ballot, the opportunity to vote and be a part of the democratic process is a unique privilege we each have and of which we should all take advantage. For those who don't know where to vote, either candidates' website can help you: McCain | Obama 

Finally, a word about staying involved in the democratic process. While the traffic on this blog in the past two months has been great, if it stops here then this blog will have failed. For example, I personally feel that our current discussion about health care is too meaningful for us to have it only once every four years. I think the same could be said for energy independence, education and many other issues. I hope these conversations continue. In addition, I intend to watch how our next President--regardless of who that may be--governs and compare it to how they campaigned. I encourage each of you to do the same--and hopefully at The Citizen Post.

Thanks again and, whomever you support, good luck tomorrow.
