Encouragement to Vote

Bridgewater residents are ENCOURAGED to vote!! It is a privilege and right, fought for, guarded and treasured for over 200 years. Many in our past and those now in other countries have and do literally die for the privilege.

Please use your pen to influence and guide our Town. What better way to feel our unity and community than by being part of a treasured, American privilege?
