I Just Voted and I Feel Great!

I just returned from my local polling station here in the great state of Virginia.  It felt great to cast my vote for some real conservatives: Bob McDonnell, Bill Bolling, and Ken Cuccinelli.  I don’t know about the rest of you, but when I vote, I get a little emotional.  I cherish the ability to have a say in the leadership and direction of my locality, state and country.

I believe most Americans have forgotten the price that was paid for them to walk into a polling station and cast their vote.  They have taken their gift of self government for granted.  Voting is an awesome, rare, and coveted responsibility that is taken too lightly by most of us.  Many American’s don’t even take the time to vote!  Countless generations of people throughout history would have given anything (and some gave all) to have the opportunity to vote, but many Americans stay home on election day and don’t even think twice about it.  If given the opportunity to have a say in your own government, how can you pass that up?
