“Democracy is the only system that persists in asking the powers that be whether they are the powers that ought to be.”
-Sydney J. Harris

We’ve finally reached the end of the wildest campaign since at least 1972. Polls are open til 8pm, and I hope that you if you haven’t already voted, that you can take the time to cast your ballot on your way out of the maelstrom of ads, flyers, signs & anger. It’s clear that no matter who wins, we will have some deep issues to work through as a nation. Here’s hoping that we can come together around our love of being healthy & alive to build something that works for more Americans instead of simply creating richer billionaires.

Meghan shared this photo back in 2016. She has since closed her Flickr account so I don’t have a link for you … except to Michigan.gov/vote where you can preview your local ballot!

It’s Election Day in Michigan and although about 3 million of us have already voted, many are heading to the polls today. Here’s hoping for a peaceful & rewarding experience for all of you!

Julie took this back in 2012. You can see the latest including some windy, wavy goodness on her Flickr.

I hope that you vote today but equally importantly, please consider becoming more engaged with government in the months and years to come – it’s clear our government needs us!

The price of our democracy has been very high. Here’s hoping you can spend a little of your time today investing in it.

This is a frightening statistic. More people vote in ‘American Idol’ than in any US election.
~Rush Limbaugh

You’ll become a statistic whatever you do today. Here’s hoping you become one of the statistics who took a little time to make decisions about your community.
