Voter Registration Rules by State: here. Very useful handy guide. Share. An appeal for a more civil political conversation from the Benedictines in Duluth MN: here. Special thanks to Molly.

Personal suggestion: Know all of the candidates who are on your ballot for the November 4 election, and what they stand for, then vote your choices.

UPDATE Nov. 29, 2011: A video of Dr. Axworthy’s talk is accessible here. (It will take a short while to load as it is a long presentation.) How does one recap nearly 50 years of a career in public service presented in under two hours? How does one recap that two hours in 700 words […]

My response was sent U.S. mail to the writer of the editorial and the legislators […]
