November 5, 2019 (Tuesday)
Today is U.S. General Election Day – first Tuesday of the month after first Monday of month. If you do not vote, you will be agreeing to abide by the results of the election. If you do vote, you will be doing your part as an American Citizen, and as a citizen of your state, county, etc. Some elections in recent years have been very close, making the vote of one person very important in calculating results. When all the votes are counted and the results of the election announced, you will have a huge honorable feeling, knowing you have done your part.
According to John Greenleaf Whittier, you will be asserting yourself as a sovereign among royal peers.
The proudest now is but my peer,
The highest not more high;
To-day, of all the weary year,
A king of men am I.
To-day, alike are great and small,
The nameless and the known;
My palace is the people’s hall,
The ballot-box my throne!
John Greenleaf Whittier
At the close of each Tuesday blog I will write about the presidents, in the order of their service.
