Well, this is it. Tuesday's the big day.

I hope you've given thorough consideration into whose hands you're planning to entrust this country for the next four years and I hope your answer is the same as mine... Barack Obama.

A landslide for Senator Obama seems all but inevitable but you still have to vote! The Republican Party is using every trick in the book to maintain control and it's clear the touch-screen voting machines are not 100% trustworthy. The only answer is to vote in such overwhelming numbers that any such digital chicanery is obvious. If you're in a battleground state be sure and take along a friend a two.

If you experience problems while voting contact your local media or call the voter protection hotline at 1-877-US-4-OBAMA (1-877-874-6226).

Finally, before you head for the polls, check out voting facts and fictions here. (And don't forget the best reason for voting... FREE FOOD. <grin>)

If you've already voted and would still like to help out then go to the Obama web site and click on the "volunteer" widget. Your community needs people like you to make those millions of last-minute phone calls that will help ensure a heavy democratic turnout.

In Mr. Obama's own words:

Don’t believe for a second this election is over.

Don’t think for a minute that power concedes. We have to work like our future depends on it in this last week, because it does.

We can choose an economy that rewards work and creates new jobs and fuels prosperity from the bottom-up.

We can choose to invest in health-care for our families, and education for our kids, and renewable energy for our future.

We can choose hope over fear, unity over division, the promise of change over the power of the status quo.

We can come together as one nation, and one people, and once more choose our better history.

That’s what’s at stake. That’s what we’re fighting for. And if in this last week, you will knock on some doors for me, and make some calls for me, and talk to your neighbors, and convince your friends; if you will stand with me, and fight with me, and give me your vote, then I promise you this – we will not just win this state, we will not just win this election, but together, we will change this country and we will change the world.

Thank you, God bless you, and may God bless America.
