I stumbled on this quote from Thomas Jefferson and thought it was fitting for election day here in Wisconsin:
"The spirit of 1776 is not dead. It has only been slumbering. The body of the American people is substantially republican. But their virtuous feelings have been played on by some fact with more fiction; they have been the dupes of artful maneuvers, and made for a moment to be willing instruments in forging chains for themselves. But times and truth dissipated the delusion, and opened their eyes."
At the crucial point in American history at which we rest, believe that the republican spirit of this country isn't dead and that the future of our democracy lies in our collective hands. It is up to us, the people, to ensure that we put responsible people into power to watch over the rights we cherish. So with that in mind, whomever you support, make sure you get out and fulfill your civic duty by voting in the primary today.
