In only a few days, it will all be over – (mercifully) no more political ads, new leaders chosen, and here in Minnesota (hopefully) new funding dedicated to preservation of our most important natural and cultural resources.

We are down to only a few days and hours before votes are cast, futures decided, and priorities set. And hard as it might be to grasp, there really are undecided voters among us.

Talk to them, explain your choices, talk about why their vote counts, what’s at stake, how this election can change our world. Who are they? – well you don’t really know; so talk to your friends, family, neighbors, fellow-bus riders, shoppers, and anyone else who will listen. Volunteer for your candidates. Help to get out the vote.

The future is up to us. Don’t think your bit doesn’t matter. Here’s good advice from Edward Everett Hale:  “I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something; and because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do the something that I can do.”
