Since the Presidential election two years ago the phrase "silent majority" has been added to the language. It is said to mean that the will of the people cannot be measured by the decibel level of street demonstrations. This election will determine the validity of this concept.

It also will decide the direction which Congress moves in the next ten years. This is because state legislatures will use the new census figures to determine boundaries of congressional districts. The newly elected legislators will also help determine whether state governments can find effective solutions to many of the problems which are of nation wide concern. The candidate, office holders, press, radio and TV have done their best to clarify the issues. Now it is your turn.

There is really no excuse to be "silent" oo Tuesday. Vote!.
