rockin the vote!
Are you registered to vote? I know in my state, we have 30 days before the election which means if you're not registered, you should really be thinking about it.
My sister turned 18 last year and she's all set and ready to go on November 4.
I'm so proud of her!
Our great grandfathers died so that we could be free to live in a country like this. I know, it's not perfect. Far from it lately, actually, BUT, look around at the other countries.
We are blessed.
Fast forward a while to less than a century ago in 1920 when - after our grandmothers put up over 70 years of a fight - the 19th amendment was finally ratified in our country.
Today?
We have women running to be Presidential candidates and a woman running for Vice President. Our glass ceiling hasn't been completely shattered yet, but the more we stand up for our rights, the better chance our daughters have of seeing true gender equality.
I feel strongly about voting, and I don't want to hear you complain about the country if you decide to sit out this election.
Are you watching the Presidential debate tonight?
I'm DVR-ing it since I won't be home. It's not exactly choice entertainment for me, but I feel it my duty to watch. As strongly as I feel about voting, I believe it's worse for someone to carelessly and ignorantly submit their vote than to not vote at all.
When you fulfill your right, privilege and obligation,
don't take your decision lightly.
Remember, every single vote counts.
All of us can Rock the Vote.
EVERYONE SHOULD VOTE. IT’S ONE OF THE GREATEST RIGHT WE HAVE!
