Why Voting is Important + Election Viewing Party Recipes

NEW-resized-obama-romney

I hope you all voted today!

Our ancestors worked hard and fervently to gain the right to vote, and we are all (if you’re old enough) lucky to be able to have this right, so let’s not take it for granted.  We finally live in a free country where we are able to express our opinions.  Get out there and vote!

The vote is the most powerful instrument ever devised by man for breaking down injustice and
destroying the terrible walls which imprison men because they are different from other
men. –Lyndon B. Johnson, 36th President of the United States

If everyone had the mentality that voting wasn’t important, nobody would vote, and then where would we be?  Your vote is important.
