Election Housekeeping

Just a couple brief points to pass along to you.  First, if you live in Missouri and are not registered to vote, you can do so here:

Missouri Voter Registration Deadline is October 8th

Click here to register to vote.

Our right to vote is one of the most important responsibilities we have as citizens of this great country. While many people might take this right for granted, much has been sacrificed for our democracy and it's up to us to exercise the right to vote.

The first step is to make sure you're registered to vote. Please visit this page right now and mail in your application before October 8th. If you're not going to be home on Election Day, please don't forget to request an absentee ballot by visiting this page.


Also, the next Presidential debate will be on TV tomorrow night at 8:00pm Central time (probably on all of the major networks).  The VP debate had final ratings of about 70 million viewers, which was about 20 million more than the first Presidential debate, but as the heat turns up and the country tunes in, I suspect more and more people will watch these debates.  This particular one will be in a town hall format, which I believe will give the candidates a bit more latitude in explaining their positions, so this will be a great time to get a good feel for them.  Get involved, get informed, and take back your country!

There's my two cents.
