Keep the dates open for Midterm elections!

Both your Sept. 8 vote in the New Hampshire State Primary and your vote in the November 3 General Election will be key to directing the future path that our country will take.

We all need to exercise our civic duty and vote intelligently regardless of political affiliation.

Do your โ€œhomeworkโ€ to confirm that the candidates you endorse represent the values that you deem important. Choose a stateswoman or statesman, not a โ€œpolitician.โ€ Cast your informed vote for qualified candidates who exhibit empathy, competence and intelligence.

Ask yourself: What kind of country do you want to live in? Our countryโ€™s future depends on your vote, your choice. Participate.
