Thanks for your well written letter, Ms. Buckmaster. I’d add that another reason to cast our ballot is not only to vote in folks who will better our lives, but also to vote out folks who do not better our lives and who instead kowtow to special interests or their personal crusades. Folks, do the research and decide which candidates will better our lives and most importantly, VOTE. Voters get the government they deserve so make sure you vote and ensure your voice is heard.
