VOTE!

Hey Folks,

Here is my little ditty to commemorate the eve of the most important election of my life, so far.

Polls open in a mere 12 hours. I cannot stress how important it is to vote. Trust me. I have two Presidential elections under my belt (and we all know how those went). If you need info about where, when, and how to vote, please go here. <---partisan site, apologies.

If you intend to vote, learn your rights.

Here are a couple of things to keep in mind:

1. You have the right to vote even if you have unpaid bills, parking tickets, overdue taxes, or a home at risk of foreclosure.

2. Despite rumors to the contrary, you can wear campaign shirts and pins to the polls -- but be prepared to cover them up, if asked.

3. College students can vote in Pennsylvania without losing residency in another state...just bring your student ID along with you.

4. Polls are open from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Don't leave without voting. If you're in line before the polls close at 8:00 p.m., you have the right to vote.

Good Luck!
