Today is Super Tuesday. If you are a resident of any one of the 24 states (mapped below), today is your opportunity to make your voice heard.

This election, affecting about 1/2 of the states in our country, will have a large impact in deciding the Democratic and Republican nominees on the ballot in November.

I hope everyone takes a stand and votes today. If you haven't committed to a candidate yet, CNN is a great resource for information about nominees. It has a special Super Tuesday Guide that gives information state-by-state.
