Vote on Tuesday

“But, to speak practically and as a citizen, unlike those who call themselves no-government men, I ask for, not at once no government, but at once a better government. Let every man make known what kind of government would command his respect, and that will be one step closer toward obtaining it” Henry David Thoreau (Civil Disobedience, 1848). Truer words cannot be spoken today.   Everyone needs to vote for the candidates who will keep government respectable (without subjecting tax payers to lawsuits for personal behavior lapses), unobtrusive (not demanding that every citizen pay for health insurance by calling it a tax), and not, as it is proudly proclaimed on the Washington DC license plate, Taxation without Representation.
