My Union Journal

Don’t forget to vote tomorrow (11/04/2008).  It is one of our most precious rights as Americans living in this democracy.  You should certainly exercise that right.  Even if you have to wait in line; suck it up and go vote.  There are so many citizens of other countries that would absolutely love to vote for their leaders and representatives.  Don’t take it for granted.

After you vote, come back to MUJ and create a journal or login to your journal and write about your voting experience.  It is a historical election and it will be nice to look back on your journal in a few years to see whether you chose McCain or Obama, and also write about your voting experience.  Maybe you are going to vote at a local community center or at your courthouse; well write about it.  What kind of ballot did you cast (electronic or other)?  How long did you wait in line?  Was the voting process easy?  Or any number of issues that arise while you vote.

We only have the opportunity to vote for our President every four years, so it is certainly important that you vote.  And, it is a great idea to record your experience right here in your journal!  Go vote.
