Christ Lutheran Church Women (CLCW) President Jacquie McConnell writes: Autumn is upon us, and this year is a very special autumn as we exercise our right to vote. Recently, I ran across this quote from General Colin Powell: You have been given citizenship in a country like none other on earth, with opportunities available to you like nowhere else on earth.
