Remmember, remember the 4th of November.....

OK I know it's supposed to be the 5th of Nov but thats only tomorrow and that post is likely to be a long one (and most of you will probably wind up reading it on the 6th anyway), so I thought it might be a good idea to get a head start on things and give you all something to read as a warm up. (Not that the last couple of days haven't been.)

As I sit here this evening watching the movie "V for Vendetta" again I can't help but find my self agreeing with code name V. Not what he did or how he did it mind you but some of the stated reasons he gave during his T.V. speech to the people of London. As tomorrow is the 5th of Nov. and while I am not British, I don't think you need to be to understand the principles behind the movie and character. In America tomorrow holds its own special meaning this year, its the day before election day and I ask all my readers to take up the task of finding at least finding out how to vote if you don't already know and if you don't/can't vote on the 6th this year then at the very least register for next years election. If you are already registered and can vote then I ask you with the task of looking over the issues that will appear on your ballots in two days and find out more information about them so that you can make an informed decision.

Next year, today will be the day that this country comes together to elect a new President. So I like the character in the movie, if you are an American: One year from today I ask all of you to join me in reading up on the issues and casting your vote, at your local polling place. On the 5th of November next year my fellow Americans and I will be waking up to the news of who we have elected as our next leader.

So this 4th of November for me marks the even of a personal campaign to help inform others of issues affecting my fellow service members as well as pointing out the hypocrisy of our current congressional body and the bills being proposed. (I will try to be equal opportunity pointing out examples from both sides when I can but no promises.)

See you tomorrow.
