Exercise Your Right To Vote Today...

I encourage everyone to make time today to exercise their right as citizens of the United States and residents of the State of South Dakota by voting in the 2008 Election.

There is much at stake in this election regarding the future... not only the United States, but perhaps the future of the free world.

As citizens it is not only our privilege to vote... it is our duty. Because of this solemn duty... the future holds for us only what we choose to make of it.
