Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Go Vote!<\/p>\n

There are many issues on the AZ ballot as I am sure there are many on your ballot as well.\u00c2\u00a0 We have a proposition to outlaw smoking in publicly accessible places (like restaurants and bars) as well as a prop to make it against the law to have a pig in a pig pin (animal cruelty).\u00c2\u00a0 There is a prop to raise minimum wage, several new taxes, as well as grant our great cities and towns the right to draw more credit (go into debt) where more taxes are not available.\u00c2\u00a0 If you don’t vote, you cannot be heard.<\/p>\n

I know there are those out there that would say, “my vote doesn’t count so I don’t bother”.\u00c2\u00a0 To that I say, “Shame on you!”\u00c2\u00a0 Chances are you won’t win the lottery but I will bet dollars to doughnuts that if you don’t play, you\u00c2\u00a0cannot win.\u00c2\u00a0 Same rules apply – maybe you are right and your vote won’t be heard –\u00c2\u00a0maybe — but\u00c2\u00a0I can promise that if you don’t vote your voice won’t be heard.<\/p>\n

Do you want more taxes?\u00c2\u00a0 Do you want money taken away from programs you support?\u00c2\u00a0 Do you want someone to tell you how to define marriage?\u00c2\u00a0 Do you want to defend traditional marriage?\u00c2\u00a0 Maybe you were not able to serve your country in the armed forces, but you can certainly serve your nation by getting out to vote!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
