Are you registered to vote?

Thanks to McHenry County Advocate I came across the "Peace and Quiet" video produced by the NRA Freedom Action Foundation to promote voter registration. Watch the video here.

You'll enjoy R. Lee ("Gunny") Ermey make the point about registering to vote. From www.imdb.com comes the following: "A talented character actor known for his military roles, R. Lee Ermey was in the US Marine Corps for 11 years. He rose to the rank of Staff Sergeant, and later was bestowed the honorary rank of Gunnery Sergeant by the Marine Corps, after he served 14 months in Vietnam and later did 2 tours in Okinawa". Check out his movie credits at www.imdb.com

The next election in McHenry County is March 20. If you aren't registered to vote (or are not sure if you are correctly registered (like, if you have moved)), you must take care of this by this Tuesday. Call 815.334.4242 and be prepared to go to the Elections Office at 667 Ware Road, if necessary.

The following is from the McHenry County Elections webpage: "REGISTERED VOTERS who have MOVED FROM ONE PRECINCT TO ANOTHER within the County since last registered, or from one address to another within the precinct of their residence, MUST NOTIFY the County Clerk, in writing, by signing an application for change of residence or by returning their present voter's card to the County Clerk's Office specifying the new address, on or before Tuesday, February 21st, 2012." (Capitalization is in the original; Emphasis is red was added) 

Early voting will be permitted on February 27-March 15, inclusive.  

Remember, it's the Second Amendment that protects your rights under the First Amendment.
