Register to Vote

If any lesson was learned from the 2009 Township election, it is that voting is among the most fundamental and important rights of every American. The next time people are heard saying, “What does it matter? My vote doesn't mean anything,” they should be reminded that the Trustee race was decided by a single vote!
