If you can stand in line for tickets, you can stand in line to vote


If you can stand in line for tickets to a movie, you can stand in line to vote.

If you can stand in line for tickets to a sports event, you can stand in line to vote.

If you can stand in line for a concert, you can stand in line to vote.

If you can stand in line waiting to get on a ride at an amusement park, you can stand in line to vote.

There are plenty of excuse to not vote but when you think about it, we all too often prove that when we really want to do something, we are willing to do what it takes to do it. Think of black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, and all the times you got up at 4:00 am to get to the mall for the best sales. Black Friday became a family tradition all across America. So why isn't it that we make it a family tradition to vote?

I've heard some people complain when they call in talk radio stations about the long wait. We can't do anything about the wait time this year. The turn out is amazing and there are not very many states prepared for it ahead of time. This is for the direction of this country and all our days to come. We saw what happened when people didn't do whatever it took to go vote 4 years ago. We saw what happened when people were turned away and didn't get the chance to vote. Don't let that happen this time. It's too important. No excuses will ever take away the damage done because you didn't vote.
