Honor The Flag By Voting

To the Editor:

Our Main Street is indeed a beautiful sight on a sunny morning; historic homes, our majestic flagpole, and now the addition of smaller American flags waving along the street.

While taking in this imagery, I find it so ironic that 75 percent of our eligible voters choose not to exercise their privilege of voting.  Newtowners, on May 18 please honor our flag and those defending it.
