Election Day coming up!!
As a young Boy Scout, I can remember reading a special section of my Scout Handbook on “Citizenship” – it explained the basic rights and duties of me as a citizen in my community, in my nation, and in my world.
Of particular note was a simple table that listed on one side the “rights” that I can have as a citizen, and on the other side the “duties” that I have as a citizen. “VOTE” was the only act that was listed as both a right and a duty. It is something I remember to this day.
Many people have fought bravely for our right and duty to vote. Please honor them by exercising your right and duty to vote in this upcoming Election Day.
