Vote. Please.

 

Election Day 2020 will unfold with almost two-thirds of the vote cast four years ago already in the book.

No doubt the pandemic drove people to vote early. My wife and I did so because of our fear that we would be unexpectantly placed in isolation and unable to carry out our duties.

And that is what it is. A duty. If you are a member of a free society it is incumbent for you to vote for the  leaders of your government. To pass is the same as saying you are totally abdicating control of your life.

I’ll be anxious to see the results, not only in the national races but also the ones closer to home. I will be most interested in the so-called fair tax which would ---if approved---implement a graduated state income tax.

A Bloomington Pantagraph poll over the weekend showed nearly 70-percent of those Illinoisans asked, didn’t like the idea. I don’t either. It gives Springfield much too much power…and doesn’t inspire the real solution to our state’s imminent bankruptcy. You need to cut spending, which is something big government won’t do unless they are forced.

We will cover national, state and local races tonight on 104.9 FM starting at 7:00 o’clock. Jeff Vaughan will join me on the air and Derek Dunn will keep our social media filled with up-to-date results as we get them.

There’s still time for you to weigh in.

Vote. Please.
