It is important that a government listen to its people. The best way to be heard is to vote in our elections. Do get registered so you can have a voice!

Monday, April 10, is the last day for voter registration if one desires to participate in the May Primary Election. All courthouse county clerks are to have extended hours that day until 8 p.m. to allow for voter registration.

If you have a viewpoint that needs expression, select the candidates who can best carry your messages where it counts.

Voting is not just a right, it is a privilege. An American died so you could speak your mind. Be registered and say, "Thank you."
