APA voting is EASY!

Wednesday, January 7th, 2009

i-want-youIn a hotly contested election, every vote counts and Westchester has a lot of them.

Please don’t leave it to others this time. Your paper ballot has a postage paid envelope, so a few marks in the boxes will be enough, no writing. Or go online and use the number on the paper ballot. A very few clicks and you are done. I am sure you are aware that this year’s three way race for President Elect includes our own Michael Blumenfield, MD. So don’t give your superego a chance to diss you! Vote!                                 –JS
