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. www.unitstudy.com
