I Voted Today
How is that possible when the election is at least a month away? I sent off for an absentee ballot and it arrived today. I did so because well, the election is being held four days before my due date. Knowing my luck I’d be in labor that day, or in line to vote or actually voting when my water broke, so I was taking no chances. I love my baby, but nothing is getting in the way of me excersing my right to vote.
Now, I’ve pretty much kept politics out of both my blogs because it’s such a divisive issue and I have a varied and large list of friends and readers who probably sit on either side of the fence, and some who straddle it. But I’m going to take a moment and urge each and every one of you to get out there and VOTE. Registration deadlines are fast approaching in many states, so make sure that you are registered at your current address. Then, on November 4th, make your voice, your vote, count.
Many people say, “But it’s only one vote, why should I care?” Because many an election has been decided by slim margins, some even by that one vote. If you’ve sat around and complained about the way things are done on a national, state, regional or local level, this is your chance to make a change. By voting you can let it be known to the people in power how you want things done. So get out there, investigate the candidates, the issues, make a change. If you need information, your local library is a good place to start.
Remember, only you can decide if you want to effect change. So please, VOTE.
