Did you see the results of the recent Boerne municipal election? I continue to be amazed, if not just disappointed that so many citizens (~ 85 percent of registered voters) didn’t vote. They seem to take for granted the development of our republic and the constitution that upholds it.
When I began my military career, and again years later when I joined State Department as a civil servant for duty in Iraq, I took an oath of office to support and defend the Constitution of the United States of America. The least we can do, should do, as citizens of this republic in supporting and defending our constitution and the life it grants us, is to vote; i. e. vote for who represents us.
The results of the recent municipal election aren’t interestingly different than our countywide election results last year or most other elections. While the clear majority of the citizens in Kendall County who do get out to vote are registered Republicans, the overall turnout is dismal. The underlying question is why.
