Yes, I know, I am a sappy patriot. I’m writing my column this week to remind you why your vote is your voice and your voice is a critically important strain in the beautiful, and sometimes messy, cacophony of democracy.

Warmest regards and no excuses, Gloria Feldt Co-founder and President, Take The Lead @Gloria Feldt
