Register to Vote

In case you haven’t noticed, 2016 is a presidential election year.  There are several candidates running for a variety of offices.  There are federal, state and local elections in Virginia this year.  It is of the utmost importance that all citizens exercise their constitutional right and register to vote.  You only need to register one time unless you move to a new jurisdiction.  It is very easy to register to vote.  You can get the required form at any local library or DMV office. The deadline to register to vote in Virginia is October 17th this year.

Over the years I have heard people say that they don’t want to vote.  They don’t like politics.  Some people don’t want to take the time to learn about the candidates.  Some people think that if they register to vote, then they will be called for jury duty.  This is one of those urban myths that just won’t go away.  The court system finds jurors from the DMV. So if you have a driver’s license, you may as well vote too.

Who Do You Vote For?

That’s the best thing about living in a democracy.  You can vote for whomever you choose.  In Virginia there are five people on the ballot for President of the United States.  Google them and look at their ideas.  Then make a choice.  Make YOUR choice.

There are so many countries in the world that go through the motions of having an election, but there is only one person on the ballot.  Then they crow about the fact that their dictator received 99% of the vote!

Why Is It Important to Register to Vote?

The person who is elected as President of the United State on November 8th this year will be the leader of the free world.  He or she will determine the course of our nation for the next four years.  You might think that you only are one vote among millions but the truth is that every vote counts.  In some states during the last presidential election, the election was determined by as few as 6 votes per precinct.  That is really important.  YOUR vote counts!  It’s your right, privilege and duty to go to the polls and VOTE!

Why and how to clean my washing machine Did you know that your washing machine can collect dirt and harbor bacteria and fungus? There is a thin film created by soap residue, minerals and chemicals from detergent. This can cause a clog in the inner workings of your machine, your water won't be as hot and the film also traps odors. The tiny crevices in the drum and gaskets can collect mildew and bacteria from your clothes. They can also harbor fungus. If you have a top loader here are some steps to follow when cleaning : Wipe interior seals around the door with all purpose cleaner Remove debris around filter or drain Use 1 cup of white vinegar with 1/2 cup baking soda then run a cycle on heat If you have a front loader here are some tips to follow when cleaning: Have a small bowl or towel ready to catch any excess water Remove the filter from the small door on the front panel of the machine Shake over trash can and rinse out. Use 1/2 cup baking soda and 3 cups white vinegar to scrub inside the drum and rubber gaskets You can use washing machine cleaner which can be purchased on line if you prefer Remove the fluids dispenser to clean each tray with disinfecting wipes Wipe out the area inside where the dispenser is located with the wipes If you have a "clean cycle" run the cycle, otherwise run the largest load setting on hot We hope this has been a quick and helpful guide for cleaning your washing machine .
