So, the campaign season is starting to wind down here in the states. Two more weeks and we’ll have a new President. On November 4th we’ll go to our polling places and cast our ballot for either Senator Obama or Senator McCain. Who am I voting for? Obama. Yes, I’m a registered Democrat. Yes, I’m a liberal. Beyond all of that though, I’m voting for who will be the best for the country. If I honestly thought McCain was the one for the job I’d vote for him but he’s not the right one for the job. Nor is his running mate. So, my vote is clear.
I’ve been voting in every election since I was 18 years old. It is a privilege to vote. Every vote does count, just look at Florida. I’m disheartened when I hear someone say they won’t vote. That they don’t like either of the candidates so they simply aren’t voting. Ok, you don’t like the candidates, I can understand that. However, by not voting you aren’t exercising your right to participate in the process. Therefore, I don’t want to hear you complain. If you don’t like how things are right now, and who does, then go vote. Vote the incumbant party out. Then you can say you did your part, you participated.
If your a woman you have no excuse to not vote. A number of woman fought very hard for us to have the right to vote. Don’t squander it. Beyond that, there are a number of issues important to women right now. If you don’t vote then how can you possibly make sure those issues continue to be important? Every vote counts.
If you haven’t been over to the Crown and Pearl yet, then you don’t know. Prad and I are running for office . 🙂
Remember, if you don’t vote, you can’t complain so get out there and vote!!!!!!
I’ll be there, voting for Senator Obama and Senator Biden.
