Today (January 14, 2008) is the day to make your pre-primary list. Tomorrow, check it twice before you go to the polls to vote in Michigan's presidential primary.
At the top of your list should be this reminder: Decline to sign the so-called Right to Work petition. Labor leaders believe conservative groups will be gathering signatures for a ballot proposal that will drastically undermine labor unions, and therefore Michigan's standard of living as well. Despite its name, the proposal will not guarantee anyone a job, only the right to work for less.
Next, remember to bring your photo ID. Michigan is one of only nine states that requires such identification. But also remember that if you don't have one, you can sign an affidavit instead.
Third, remember not to write in a vote for any candidate. Ballots with write-in candidates will be considered spoiled and thrown out.
Fourth, carefully consider the temptation to cause trouble by voting in the Republican primary. Voting is not a game.
Fifth, feel good about yourself for exercising your civic responsibility.
Sixth, give thanks to whomever you think deserves it for your opportunity to live in a (mostly) free society.
Seventh, resolve to help elect whomever the Democrats nominate by emailing (livcodems@sbcglobal.net)or calling (810)229-4212) the Livingston County Democratic Party.
There's your list. Now check it twice tomorrow. And may the best candidate win.
