Election Day

On July 2, 1776 a group of men convened in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. When the meeting concluded a new nation was born, The United States of America.  Over the next 236 years this country has grown well beyond the original colonies, spanning from ocean to ocean.  During this time period we have had some dark hours. Slavery, segregation, the massacre of the Native Americans and the oppression of female voting rights are some examples. However, there were always voices demanding  these wrongs to be made right and eventually they were corrected.

Let's face it this is a great country, one unique in history were freedom has reigned and so many have basked in it. A pillar of this freedom has been voting and the ability of the people to shape  government through voting. Today we are given this opportunity one more time, don't miss it.  The power has and will rest in the hands of the people, make sure you use it.

On a personal note, my wife and I have had long discussion about this election. Not because of economic issues, tax issues, abortion or birth control. You see our son is joining the military in a few years and we both realized the person who wins tomorrow will decide when and where our son puts his life in danger. This has weighed on us both. Just something to think about.

Good day and happy voting...After that the investing begins again.
