Repeat after me -- VOTE VOTE VOTE

We are coming up to another important election and opportunity to state our position on many issues all over the country.

In Missouri, there are state issues and local issues that are of grave concern to Missouri residents and deserve attention.

There are candidates who have agreed to spend their time and energy to particpate in our democratic-republic government form and make honorable efforts to express our positions and needs in the action of that government, local, state and national. These people deserve our respect enough to have us get ourselves out and about to state our choices and opinions and positions regardless of what those may be.

Thank goodness for elections -- the lifeblood of the media to sell ad spots to the candidates and issues. Remember Campaign spending could back the pay check of the one you love.

There is no please about it -- this is a demand. Next Tuesday, get off your duff and VOTE!
