I started this local Fishers news blog in January of 2012.  There were many reasons as to why.  I had just retired and looking for a volunteer activity.  Local news was becoming scarce even 13 years ago.  But there was one more important reason I began this blog.

I noted a very low voter turnout locally, particularly in local elections.  I believe many choose not to vote because they do not know much about local issues and do not have the time or energy to research all that themselves.

That is a major reason I started this volunteer news blog in 2012 and have continued it to this day.  I have tried to quit this blog endeavor twice and people just wouldn’t let me.

The best way you can support what I do on this blog as a volunteer is to do something we all can do as citizens – vote.  Just vote.

In order to vote, you must be registered.  If you have not registered to vote, the deadline is Monday, October 7.  It is easy to register online and check on your registration to ensure you are currently registered.  There is a Web site for that in Indiana at this link.

You can also register at your local election office by close of business October 7.  And, if you mail your registration paperwork, it must be postmarked by midnight October 7.

The most important compliment I have ever received writing this blog is from several local residents telling me they decided to vote because they have read this blog and followed local events.  You can be one of those people.  Register to vote online and check your registration online if you are registered to verify you can vote in this round of elections.

Thanks for reading this blog!
