It is here at last! We get to VOTE!









Hello everyone!

It has been wonderful to hear the good news about the Elections study
and how much it has been enjoyed by kids of all ages. Thanks to
everyone that has emailed or posted their great reviews and fun. I am
so proud of you!

Just a few things about the BIG day tomorrow:

1. VOTE, please! So many Americans have fought and died to protect
this special freedom over the past 232 years, and we owe them so much
for their bravery, courage and ultimate sacrifice. Also, if possible,
take your children when you vote so that they can see the whole
process and understand the importance that so many people place on
this duty and responsibility of American citizens.

2. HELP those that are working with the election process tomorrow.
If you can, go to the campaign headquarters of your choice and see
what you and your children can do to help. Please realize that the
folks there are mainly volunteers and everyone there will be tired
and stressed as they wrap up this campaign season. They are tired and
can use all kinds of volunteers! Also, think about taking food by the
campaign headquarters and the election polling places. They've all
been living on too much coffee and not enough sleep, and some regular
healthy food, cold bottled water, and special treats would probably
be greatly appreciated.

3. REMEMBER that this election process takes place in America year
after year, at all levels - local, state, and national. While the
office of President is only up for election every four years, the
offices of Congress as well as many other positions rotate in and out
of our voting ballots every year. If your candidates are not elected,
there will be many other opportunities to make your voice heard -
never forget that our government was structured for long-term
success.

4. THANK a soldier if you see one tomorrow - let them know that
their commitment and convictions are appreciated!

5. GRACE - His grace is sufficient to cover all that might happen. I
was just reading an article that was pointing out that half of our
population will be very disappointed on Wednesday, while the other
half will be elated. While Americans tend to be very fair-minded and
just, we tend to all want to be winners. We can't all win, but we can
do our part and accept the outcome with grace.

Now, go and celebrate America, land of the free and home of the brave!

Blessings,
Amanda B.
