Whatever your political persuasion, I believe you must acknowledge that today’s special election in Massachusetts illustrates that a citizen’s personal vote still holds sway in American politics. A fairly small percentage of the electorate in one small state has effected, perhaps profoundly, the balance of power in Congress, and has signaled a substantial change in momentum for a movement considered by many to be unstoppable but a short year ago.
In the end, it is the will of the American people, not that of career politicians, that will lead this great country forward.
May we all remember this example and exercise our freedom to vote whenever we get the chance.
