Vote early, and vote often!!!!!!

This now cliche quote, can be attributed to William Hale Thompson, Mayor of Chicago in the early 1900's, but it seems to fit today's politics.

News stories about ACORN, Joe the Plumber, Who does and does not wear a flag lapel pin, and Endless arguments over the deficit, are enough to make the most patriotic of us cynical. That along with the fact that many of you will be in Brownwood on election day could make it hard for you to make time to vote.

But do not let the negative campaigning, the constant bombardment by cynical adds, or the nasty nature of this years political campaign, keep you away from the ballot box. Also do not let the Texas 4-H Summit keep you from practicing your Civic Duty. Who you vote for in the national election is less relevant than the fact that you vote. It is also important that we all remember that there is a so called "down ballot" that needs our attention. The president is not the only position we are currently deciding.

As a reminder: Early Voting is open across the State, and if you are registered for the Texas 4-H Summit you will not be at home on election day!

So.... Vote early, and vote often!
