THE RIGHT AND HONOR TO VOTE!

On Tuesday, June 10, 2015 the registered voters of Lisbon have a duty to vote. This country was established as a democracy and defended by the sacrifice of many Americans. In a democracy, the registered voters determine what their wishes are by voting with a secret ballot. As far as I am concerned, if you do not vote, you have no right to speak.

On this ballot is the question of the School budget. It was very clear on May 19, 2015; the Town Council did not listen to the wishes of the people. This is why it is critical the registered voters turn out and vote, TOMORROW! It is possible the Town Council will listen to the voters of the community, this time. It would be encouraging to know Councilors still listen to the people who elected them to represent them. These Councilors must remember local government is created of the people, by the people and for the people and not their ego’s or someone’s agenda.

So tomorrow, please get out and vote. As for me, I am voting NO, TOO LOW.
