GET OUT THE VOTE!

We have all heard all that we can stand about the upcoming Presidential Election. I promise the talk is almost over. However, I do want to encourage everyone to learn about the candidates and vote. I am not here today to sway you in one direction or another. I would like you to make a decision independent of my opinions or other people's opinions.

I have compiled some resources for you to get the most accurate information. Remember, the media is not always the best source as they do force their opinions on you unwittingly. There is no such thing as an unbiased media.

-Barack Obama www.barackobama.com is his official website. Click on the SKIP SIGN UP button, then click on the ISSUES button to learn Obama's stance on the issues that matter to you.

-John McCain www.johnmccain.com is his official website. Click on the LEARN MORE button, then click on the ISSUES button to learn McCain's stance on the issues that matter to you.

Among other questions you should ask yourself as you learn about the candidates, ask yourself this:
Which candidate agrees with all or most of my feelings on the issues?

I have voted in a lot of elections, do yourself a favor, VOTE EARLY. This year's election is undoubtedly going to be the largest turnout. Remember, if you wait until Election Day, you have no choice where you vote, but in Early Voting you can vote anywhere in your county and the lines are ALWAYS shorter.

Early Voting is 10/20/08 - 10/31/08, including Saturday and Sunday.

Mon-Fri 8am-5pm (10/20-10/24)
Sat 7am-7pm (10/25)
Sun 1pm-6pm (10/26)

Mon-Fri 7am-7pm (10/27-10/31)

To find out Early Voting locations and Election Day Voting locations, go to your county's website. For Collin County www.co.collin.tx.us

Spread the word and practice your right to vote. Your Vote Does Count!
