Let the Voting Begin!

After 2 years and hours and hours of news coverage, today is the day! I'll keep it short, since I am on the way to the polls myself and then between playdates and ironing a pile of clothes will be glued to the TV. Please exercise your right as a U.S. citizen and go vote! Tomorrow is a new day and maybe even a play by play of the Obama rally in Grant park.

Vote Early

and here in Chicago, they say "Vote Often". While I don't condone voting often, for those who have to go to work early or leave work late, always seem to forget about election day, or just want to beat the rush. GO VOTE. Many states are offering early voting, please find out if your state and county offer these options.

Realpolitik Toddler will be wearing this shirt for the next 21 days to do his civic duty to get everyone else out to vote. I call it TGOTV - Toddler Get Out The Vote! For your own shirt go to www.babypolitico.com

REGISTER

Just like when you were in school, to participate you have to register.

So, if you haven't yet done so, please register yourself to vote. Many states' deadlines are coming up in the next several weeks.
