I have never, ever done anything like this. My only previous experience with the media was way back in highschool. Although, I’m pretty sure that my yearbook photos wouldn’t count as media experience (Those of you that I went to highschool with please cut out and destroy my Grade 12 yearbook photo. Thank you).

It’s almost time to get out and vote. Just one more day before we all (hopefully), exercise our civic duty and put our stamp on the future of our country (and community). Don’t forget to vote on October 14th, 2008! It’s quick, easy and painless.
