VOTE! VOTE! VOTE!

Tomorrow is "Super Tuesday"!
Please exercise one of the last few freedoms we have in this country
and make your voice heard!
Whichever way you vote, your conscience, your paycheck, the way your parent's voted, to cancel your parent's vote, JUST DO IT!
Having children is NOT an excuse to skip voting.
Take them with you! What a civics lesson!
I have been bringing my boys since they were in diapers, all three of them. I want it to be common place to them, like, "We are supposed to do this, this is normal"
A very close relative of mine, who shall remain nameless, recently told me she was not going to vote at all because our votes don't mean anything. I replied back to her that people in other countries would give their LIVES to vote, and have, very often.
I am of the belief that if you don't vote, you cannot complain.
THIS YEAR IS ESPECIALLY POIGNANT!
How many of our Mama's and Papa's would have thought that in their lifetimes there would be such diversity in the ranks of Presidental Candidates!
IT IS UTTERLY THRILLING, CERTAINLY TIMELY, AND I CAN'T WAIT TO VOTE!
I hope all those people that wanted segration in the 60's are squirming in their seats.
I hope all the people that think a woman can't do the job are squirming in their seats.
I hope all the people that think a man that was a POW can't do the job, are squirming in their seats.
I hope all the people that think a God fearing man can't do the job are squirming in their seats.
I just hope the seat squirmers vote, otherwise they have to keep their mouths shut.
Yeah, that was pretty PC of me. If you want to know which way I bend, just ask me. I have nothing to hide.
This is just the primary. Just think how exciting November is going to be!
VOTE, VOTE, VOTE, VOTE, VOTE, VOTE, VOTE, VOTE!!!
Tomorrow, as you vote, come back here and comment... "I did it"!
Have a great night! I might post again tonight, so stay tuned!
Ciao, Ciao!
