Election Day in America
Posted by Ben | Under Traditions Tuesday Nov 4, 2008
Dear Foodies,
Today, November 4th, is election day in the United States.
The greatest right we have in America is the right to vote and enjoy the democratic process. Countless brave men and women have fought to help insure our freedom and staying home on election day is inexcusable.
Although this website is not advocating McCain or Obama, it is advocating being a part of the electoral process and making your voice heard. When good people do nothing, bad things will happen.
To all the candidates (Democrat, Independent or Republican), thank you for subjecting yourself to the American public and being willing to have every aspect of your life scrutinized. This 2008 election has shown us partisan politics at its worst – half truths, dubious allegations, and mud slinging. Heaven help anyone who runs for office.
Once our election is over, I think our country would be well served if we would all invite someone of the opposite political party over for a meal and find common ground. Over a nice dinner, learn about the heart of the other person and by the time dessert is served, I bet we will all find that we love America and have the ability to work together for the common good.
So, begin planning a post-election meal to celebrate America!
Ben
