Go vote!
It is that time of year again - yes, it's Election Day! Today is the day when millions of Americans take time out of their busy days to vote for the people they feel should run the country. Republicans, Democrats, older people, young people, men, women and many other citizens from various groups and organizations make a powerful statement when they go into the election booth and pull the lever. Some Americans take the fundamental right of voting for granted without considering the history surrounding the struggle for suffrage, the millions of people around the world today who do not have this right, and the important political ramifications of their decision not to vote.
Vote Granholm
With unusual events characterizing the gubernatorial campaign, one of the most contested contests this election year is the race for state attorney general. Harvard educated Democratic candidate Jennifer Granholm is the most qualified for the job. She has a 98-percent conviction rate as a federal prosecutor for the Eastern District of Michigan and the support of the 10-term incumbent Attorney General Frank Kelly.
