The left love to make voter registration and voting a media hoopla event. I don't mind programs that remind and encourage people to register and vote, but I do think that the meaningful motivation comes from the individual and not some sensationalist event.

With this in mind, register to vote. Deadlines are approaching. I do not know if it is the same in every state, but Indiana's registration deadline is October 4th.

Be sure to stay informed about the issues in this and future critical elections. One place to do that is right here at Peter Heck's Liberty Tree. We may use some tongue-in-cheek literary devices to create interesting and thought-provoking articles, but we know the serious nature of the issues before us. The core of American life - liberty and freedom - is at stake.

The website iVote Values is another good source for voter information. Register, stay informed, and vote your values. Not exactly entertainment hoopla, but it is the core of what has kept America the great nation that it is.

"Let each citizen remember at the moment he is offering his vote...that he is executing one of the most solemn trusts in human society for which he is accountable to God and his country." - Samuel Adams, Founding Father
