Voting important task as a citizen

not just about candidates, their personalities or their parties.Voting is about you. Your education, your environment, your safety, your transportation, your health care, your energy supply, your national security, your choice about war or peace.So attend candidates' forums, read their literature, check Web sites that compare positions on issues, read your newspaper, learn everything you can to determine which candidate espouses your views.Then select the candidate that will make this a world you want to live in. And then, most importantly, vote!Jennifer Ford, memberElgin Area League of Women VotersElgin
