Today is Election Day in Massachusetts.
Today is the day when Massachusetts voters will choose someone to represent them in the United States Senate, in the first open contest for the seat in almost half a century.
Today is the day when people will decide how they want to be represented in Washington on issues as important as health care, the war on terror, and the economy, just to name a few.
Today is the day when we get to tell the nation what sort of future we want for our state.
Today is the day when the din of television ads, “robo-calls” and stump speeches gives way to the only sound that really matters: the voice of the electorate.
Today is the day when one person living within our democracy can exert more political influence than millions of oppressed people across the world combined.
Today is the day when ordinary citizens are called upon to make extraordinary decisions.
Today is the day.
Whatever your choice, whatever your opinions, whatever your schedule today, please get out and cast your vote.
