President's Message
October 2008
By Christine Duncan,
HHS/OIG/OAS
Hello Colleagues,
November is just around the corner and it’s time to cast
that all-important vote. This country was founded on the
ability to choose our leaders. The ability to vote is a
fundamental
right for most United States citizens. When we
turn 18, we are able to exercise our right to choose whom
we believe would best represent us within the government.
When I think back to my 18 th
birthday (all those
many years ago), of all the gifts I received, the only one
that I remember to this day is my voter registration card
(it even had a bow on it). That completed card was at the
post office the very next day. Since then, with the
exception
of a couple of minor primaries, I have voted in every
election. I exercise my right to vote and I encourage you
and anyone you know who is eligible to vote to exercise
your rights as well. Sometimes it may not seem like it,
but the future of our country is in our hands.
