Vote.

There is still time to become an informed voter. You can't say that you don't know anything about who is running and about referendums and so on. You are here reading this blog, right?

Then google your candidates. Spend some time figuring it out. I am sure you won't even have to research for that long. You know what you want. All you have to do is cast your vote and sway the numbers to your side.

The United States has 100 other countries that have higher voter turnout than it. Does this boil your blood like it does mine? I am just frustrated that in the land of plenty and then some, people don't see any sense of civic duty toward the country that provides more than other countries' citizens can dream of.

There is my two cents. I already cast mine. Maine is a great place to be a voter: as soon as absentee ballots are available you can go in and vote right there. You can also register to vote on the day of election day.
