THERE ARE EXACTLY 44 DAYS BETWEEN NOW AND THANKSGIVING-75 DAYS BETWEEN NOW AND CHRISTMAS--82 DAYS BEFORE WE WELCOME A BRAND NEW YEAR.

THESE ARE THE DEADLINES THAT HAVE MEANING FOR MOST OF US. BUT HOW MANY ARE AWARE OF A DEADLINE WHICH, IN ITS OWN WAY, IS EQUALLY IMPARITIVE AND ULTIMATELY WILL HAVE A GREATER AND MORE LASTING IMPACT THAN EITHER THANKSGIVING, CHRISTMAS, OR THE NEW YEAR. THAT DEADLINE IS OCTOBER 19--THE LAST DAY AVAILABLE TO YOU TO REGISTER TO VOTE. THERE ARE EXACTLY NINE DAYS REMAINING BETWEEN NOW AND THE REGISTRATION DEADLINE. WHY IS REGISTRATION NECESSARY AND IMPORTANT? THE REASONS ARE OBVIOUS. UNLESS WE ARE REGISTERED VOTERS, WE ILL BE UNABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE NOVEMBER 8TH ELECTION.

ON THAT DAY WE WILL BE CHOOSING OUR REPRESENTATIVES IN THE UNITED STATES CONGRESS, IN OUR STATE LEGISLATURE, AND IN A NUMBER OF MILWAUKEE COUNTY OFFICES.

IN ADDITION, WE WILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPRESS OUR POINT OF VIEW ON SEVERAL REFERENDUM QUESTIONS DEALING WITH OUR STATE VOTING LAWS AND OUR CITY'S FINANCIAL NEEDS.

I DON'T REALLY NEED TO TELL YOU HOW IMPORTANT IT IS THAT EACH OF US EXERCISES OUR RIGHT TO VOTE. WE CANNOT EXPECT TO HAVE ELECTED OFFICIALS WHO TRULY REPRESENT OUR INTERESTS IF WE ARE NOT INTERESTED ENOUGH OURSELVES TO VOTE FOR THE BEST-QUALIFIED CANDIDATES.
