How to Create Special Days

"National" Days Definition

U. S. General Election Day

Date When : The U.S. General Election is held on the first Tuesday AFTER the first Monday in November. Therefore, by definition, it will never be on the first of November.

Get out and vote today. It's your right and duty as an American citizen. Voting is a revolution... a peaceful one, where majority rules!!

Once every four years, we get the opportunity to elect a new president. Every six years, we elect our U.S. senators. U.S. congressman are elected every two years. This peaceful revolution, allows us to retain good elected officials, and overturn those whose performance is poor, or whose beliefs do not match the majority of the people of this wonderful country. While Democracy may not be perfect, it's better than any other type of government on the planet. And, it offers us freedoms and safeguards that do not exist in many other countries.

Our founding fathers had the wisdom to create a government of the people, by the people, and for the people. It is every American's right and privilege, to vote for our government officials. So, we hope you exercise your right on this day, to vote for the candidate of your choice.

While apathy and discontent can creep into even the best of societies, we believe that makes it even more important for us TO VOTE.

Please exercise your inalienable right and go out and vote!

Thought for Today: Why do Americans choose from just two people to run for president, and 50 for Miss America!?
