Hi All
Well, the attached is a reminder that we need to cast our Vote today, although I continually ask myself, does the winner count or the effects of what is promised and not fulfilled? Is this a period that we ought to be thinking of other ways to elect those who we truly feel can impact of positive change? I guess Jimmy Cliff and Johnny Nash would say, "There are more questions than answers, but we need to keep saying these things so that those we vote for will remember their duty to the voters.
Think about it as you go to the Polling Station to cast your vote, but for goodness sake VOTE for the person.
