Do your duty, fellow Americans

In a few short days the election polls will open (for those who haven't voted early) and droves of Americans will stand in line to formally let their individual voices be heard.  Americans get a chance, every four years, to evaluate the present state and course of the country.  To review the performance of the executive and legislative branches of government and decide whether the job performance of the people in these seats meets the needs of the country or not.  

The process is similar to a performance review at one's place of employment.  If one gets a poor review, action is taken to ensure that the needs of the organization are being met and in some cases that action is termination.  If the work is acceptable, the individual will most likely keep his or her position.

Fellow citizens, this is your country.  You get to decide who runs this organization called America.  As Americans, we employ hundreds of representatives to work for us and we should hold these employees to the highest standard.  I'm referring to standards in the sense of those ideals that the founding fathers put forth for us in the Constitution - working to create a more perfect union for all people.

On November 4, perform your duty as a member of the board of directors of America.  Submit your vote for who you think should be running this beautiful organization called America.  Don't leave it up to others to decide for you.  There is too much at stake to not make your voice known.  It's the least we can do.
