DEMOCRACY ISN'T A SPECTATOR SPORT

VOTE TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 2 - STATE ELECTIONS
This November is a watershed election and yet our Town Clerk predicts a low turnout. So many men and women have fought and died to protect our right to vote. Why do so many of us take it for granted? Have we grown so complacent we no longer care? Voting gives you an voice. It's an awesome thing. Please vote this Tuesday. If you don't Cohasset's collective voice is muted.


VOTE MONDAY, NOVEMBER 15 - TOWN MEETING
On the local level active participation in town government is a privilege not without burden: you must give up one Saturday and one Monday night each year to vote at Town Meeting. That Monday night is November 15. Please plan to have one member of your household attend. If you don't then you abdicate the responsibility for important financial and policy decisions to others - and you give up the right to complain about their decisions!
