It's an Election Year...Your Vote Your Voice

When I was an Army Recruiter one of my sale pitches were, "I don't care what uniform you wear but, you need to wear one of them." And now that it is an election year the same holds true for the candidates.  It is not whether you are a Republican, Democrat, Green Party, Libertarian or Indenpendent.  The important issue is that you vote.

The United States presidential election of 2012 is the next United States presidential election, to be held on Tuesday, November 6, 2012. It will be the 57th quadrennial presidential election in which presidential electors, who will officially elect the president and the vice president of the United States on December 17, 2012, will be chosen. Incumbent President Barack Obama is running for a second and final term during this election.[1] His major challenger is former Massachusetts Governor, Republican Mitt Romney.[2] Two other candidates have attained ballot access sufficient enough to mathematically win the election by a majority of the electoral college: Gary Johnson, a former New Mexico Governor and the Libertarian Party nominee;[3] and Jill Stein, the Green Party nominee.[4]

As specified in the Constitution, the 2012 presidential election will coincide with the United States Senate elections where one-third of the Senators will face re-election (33 Class I seats), and the United States House of Representatives elections (which occurs biennially) to elect the members for the 113th Congress. Eleven gubernatorial elections and many elections for state legislatures will also take place at the same time."
