I love to vote. I couldn't wait to turn 18 so that I could vote. I vote in everything my town will let me. There's a vote for city commision? more funding for the bus? the official town juice flavor? I'll be there.
Why? Because people. WHY NOT? We are Americans. We fought for our rights to vote. I am also a woman. Women have only recently been afforded their right to vote (like in the last 100 years). Being able to get up and schlep my kids to the American Legion on voting day is an honor. It's like giving Susan B. Anthony a high five. And, my kids love the stickers, and the little cute ladies who volunteer at the polls love snuggling and holding them while I cast my vote. It's win-win people.
Go vote. Go vote go vote go vote. Be a good person for your country, for your community, hell, for yourself.
And if you don't, I will come to your house and knock you upside the face with a shoe. Because barring an emergency and/or felony, every citizen of this country should be casting a ballot today.
I voted and I have a sticker to prove it!
ReplyDeletePerhaps Sloane and Sam can bury the morons who don't vote in leaves? Purely acceptable! I voted before the epic meltdown. :)
