Don’t forget to VOTE tomorrow!!

PreviousNext

As Fred Figglehorn** might say “Be a sweet pickle and vote on election day.”

As you know, tomorrow [November 4, 2008] is a very important day in America. The issues facing our country are enormous and effect all of us regardless of age  —  your parent’s income, your home and job if you work, your health and your very life if you’re in the military.

This election is an historical event, with either the first African-American as President [Barack Obama] or our first female Vice-President [Sarah Palin]. Whoever wins will play a major role on the world’s stage. The economy and our foreign policy hang in the balance.

Every vote counts – if you’re 18-years-old, get to the polls tomorrow. If you’re younger than 18, register to vote as soon as possible so you can have a say in your future.

For more information about your right to vote, go to “When can I vote?” under “Growing Up” on this site.

**Take a look at “Fred on Election Day” on YouTube.
