Remember - President Barack Obama has proclaimed Sept. 11, 2012, as Patriot Day and National Day of Service and Remembrance. The President has also ordered the flag of the United States to be flown at half-staff on this day, in honor of the individuals who lost their lives on Sept. 11, 2001. Accordingly, Governor Lincoln Chafee has ordered U.S. and Rhode Island flags on public buildings across the state to be lowered to half-staff from sunrise to sunset.

Register to vote - Oct. 7 is the deadline to register to vote for the Nov. 6 election, and Oct. 16 is the deadline to request a mail-in ballot. The deadline to register to vote in the Sept. 11 primary has passed, but if you were already registered, you're OK. If you're an unaffiliated voter, you can vote in either the Republican or Democratic primary - just ask the poll worker to to dis-affiliate you on the way out after to return to independent status. This election season voters will also be required to show a voter ID.
