It’s no secret that we Critters are pretty liberal. And while it is our official policy to not endorse any particular candidate, it’s not hard to guess who we would like to see win. (It may surprise you to learn that some of us, for our own reasons, may not vote for him.) Still, we do want every eligible voter to vote in this election. Remember that every seat in the House of Representatives is up for re-election (as they are every two years), and about one third of the Senate is up for grabs. Even if neither of the major party candidates impresses you enough to go out and vote next Tuesday, consider the other issues that need to be decided by you, the voter. Many states have ballot referendums that require your input. In my own home state, we’re voting to amend our state constitution, which is never something to be taken lightly. It’s important that matters like this be decided by the widest number of people possible, instead of just a few who vote regularly. Below are links to each state’s election information. Check your state to see what else you need to vote on.

And remember, if you are eligible, it is your civic duty to vote. So be proud of the fact that you can vote, as there are many people in the world who cannot have any say in their government’s makeup. The issues are too important to dismiss. The future is too imperiled to ignore. Your life, and the lives of your children, may depend on the decisions we as a nation make on November 4th. So vote as if your life depends on it, because it does. Thank you for voting.
