WHYSHOULD YOU VOTE?

Even if you went to a polling location and only voted for one person, it will be counted. By law your vote has to be counted. Your ballot cannot be skipped or ignored otherwise it is unconstitutional. Sometimes elections can come down to a small number of votes which greatly affects how your city, state, and nation are run. Your vote counts, vote!

Here some important ways voting directly affect you: It's Your Right. People have died defending this right. Don't take it for granted!

Not voting is giving up your voice. Elections are decided by the people who go out and vote. Take some time and learn about the measures and the candidates. If you don't vote, someone else will make the decision for you. Your power is in your vote.

The Amount of Money Allocated YourRegion. This money can be used for education, youth programs, healthcare, veterans, creating jobs, the environment, etc.

How Your Taxes Will Be Spent. Take an active role and find out if your candidate shares your views and will spend your money wisely.

YourHealthcare.Your vote grants the governor, legislators, and Congress the right to take action and pass or reject laws that will determine your access to health care.

Social Security.- Elected officials decide how much payroll tax is paid, your Medicare services and payments, cost of living increases, and benefit schedules for your Social Security pension.

Safety of YourNeighborhood.Elected officials and judges make day to day decisions on laws that will affect your community, law enforcement, crime prevention, traffic patterns, and where to build schools, parks, and recreational places.

Improving YourHighways.Take an active role deciding what highways are needed, what public transit to support and how the bill will be paid. Vote to elect people who will do something to fix the problems we face. An opportunity for change. Support the candidates and ballot measures that can help your community, state, and even the nation for the greater good. Make your voice heard in these elections.

Communities are made up of friends, loved ones, and neighbors. Some may not know how important voting is, while others don't have the privilege. Make the decision to vote for yourself and those around you. Make sure your voice is heard - vote!

NEIGHBORHOOD

NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH MONTHLY BULLETIN:

NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH

Let us take a look at how a burglar thinks. I think you will be surprised and possibly recognize yourself or your property in some of their thoughts. Pay particular attention to #14. We will share some interesting comments from convicted burglars from four states in the United States, as well as an author, security consultant and a criminology professor.

1. Hey, thanks for letting me use the bathroom when I was working in your yard last week. While I was in there, I unlatched the back window to make my return a little easier. 2. Yes, I really do look for newspapers piled up on the driveway. And I might leave a pizza flyer on your front door to see how long it takes you to remove it. 3. If decorative glass is part of your front entrance, do not let your alarm company install the control pad where I can see if it is set. That makes it too easy. 4. If it is raining and you are fumbling with your umbrella, and you forget to lock your door-understandable, but understand this: I do not take a day off because of bad weather. 5. I always knock first. If you answer, I will ask for directions somewhere or offer to clean your gutters. (Don't take me up on it.) 6. Do you really think I will not look in your sock drawer? I always check dresser drawers, the bedside table, and the medicine cabinet. 7. You are right: I will not have enough time to break into that safe where you keep your valuables. But if it is not bolted down, I will take it with me. 8. Aloud TVor radio can be a better deterrent than the best alarm system. If you are reluctant to leave your TV on while you are out of town, you can buy a $35 device that works on a timer and simulates the flickering glow of a real television. 9. Sometimes, I carry a clipboard. Sometimes, I dress like a lawn guy and carry a rake. I do my best to never, ever look like a crook. 10. The two things I hate most: loud dogs and nosy neighbors. I will break a window to get in, even if it makes a little noise. If your neighbor hears one loud sound, he will stop what he is doing and wait to hear it again. If he does not hear it again, he will just go back to what he was doing. It is human nature. 11. I am not complaining, but why would you pay all that money for a fancy alarm system and leave your house without setting it? 12. I love looking in your windows. I am looking for signs that you are home and for the flat screen TVs or gaming systems I would like. I will drive or walk through your neighborhood at night, before you close the blinds, just to pick my targets. 13. Avoid announcing your vacation on your Facebook page. It is easier than you think to look up your address. 14. To you, leaving that window open just a crack during the day is a way to let in fresh air. To me, it is an invitation. 15. If you do not answer when I knock, I will try the door. Occasionally, I hit the jackpot and walk right in. 16. Of course, I look familiar. I was here just last week cleaning your carpets, painting your shutters, or delivering your new refrigerator.
