We are so blessed to live in this nation. Please vote on Tuesday.

Second story: On our block, a “Grandpa” lived with one of the families. This was not unusual for that time. He would usually stay close to home, but on Election Day, he would put on a suit and tie and go to the polls to vote.

Voting is a no-lose proposition. If your candidate wins, you celebrate. If your candidate loses, you always have, “I didn’t vote for him or her.”

If you don’t vote, you can’t celebrate or complain.
