Beyond the candidates, there's a lot at stake

Time to shake the candidates and their pitches out of your head for a minute. We've been so exposed to so much rhetoric that, for some, things are becoming a blur. Take time to take stock of what's important to you, not to them.

Don't get sucked in by an onslaught of hype for any one candidate. Honestly challenge and, if necessary, refute what you see as deception or falsities. Let's not have another election where many come to regret the vote they cast.
