I VOTED

I've never shared my political views here and I don't intend to now.  But I will share that there is no better feeling than walking away from a polling place and thinking, "Hey, I just did my civic duty.  I excercised a right that people have died to give me.  My ancestors were Cherokee Indians and I just did something they could never do.  My grandmother was born before women could vote - her mother never did."

For those of you who don't take the time, or don't see the big deal - just do it once and you'll never give up the feeling it gives you. 

*hugs*

You go girl! Whatever anyone's political leaning it is SO important to vote, for all the reasons you mention :)

Totally agree here!
I may consider it "choosing the lesser of two evils" but at least I have the option.
