Election 2008

One of the best and most important aspects of being an American is the ability to take part in the political process by voting or engaging in civic activities. In a democracy such as our own, the participation of ordinary citizens ensures that our voices are heard and politicians support the interests and aspirations of ordinary people rather than special interest groups. As we approach the 2008 Presidential election, I urge you to engage yourself and let your voice be heard. Regardless of the candidate you support, it is essential that you take part in this historic election.
