Letters to the Editor

Letter: Thanks for doing your part for democracy

I write this on Election Day before the results are posted because it’s not about who won or lost, but that we have this right and responsibility to vote. I am grateful to live in a country that has democratic elections, and a government of the people, by the people and for the people.

We have the right to vote because people throughout our history have fought and died for that right. We have the right because people today work to make that happen. I thank you if you did any of the following: worked at the polls, helped the League of Women Voters or other informative group, worked or volunteered for a campaign, ran for office, researched the issues or candidates, had a civil discussion with a friend or family member, wrote for the free press to inform voters, or voted early or on Election Day.

Thanks for participating in the process.

— Cheryl Lovegreen
