Vote.

So I lived in Louisiana a tad too long

I've voted in almost every election I could. Must admit I've missed a couple of small ones, like school board.

I've wondered who would be in the White House over the years if 3/4 of the eligible voters actually made it to the polls.

If you don't vote, then you don't get to gripe either.

Just remember something I read in B*tch Magazine a few years back.

Voting is like brushing your teeth.

Granted if you don't do it, things will get ugly really quick. But don't expect that it's the only thing you need to do, to keep things working the way they ought to.

Even if you don't like one of more candidates for one or more positions there will be one who you respect and like. Find a local dog catcher, supervisor, school board member who you respect and volunteer. Find a bond issue you believe in and put a placard on your lawn. Don't be afraid of what the neighbors will think or say if you put a placard out or walk/bike the precinct.

I don't care how you vote (well, ok, yeah I do) but it matters that you do.

We're in the process of changing voter registration to where we currently live. This year I had no reason to vote in the primaries, may not vote in Nov this year either since I have zero clue as to anything with the local politics here or who in the world anyone is. I will be voting next year. I'm also changing my party affiliation to unaffiliated.

It is important to vote. If you can't find someone to believe in, vote to counter balance the idiot down the street.

VOTE!!!!

How many realize that women didn't get the right to vote until 1920. I didn't look up the exact dates but it took nearly 100 years for the suffragette movement to succeed in getting women voting rights.

My great grandmother died in 1936. That means she got to vote in 4 presidential elections. My grandmother was 37 when she cast her 1st vote. The women in my family saw voting as an important civic duty. I remember how excited my mom and grandmother were the day I voted for the 1st time.

If you're not excited about the candidates or issues vote to honor the women who worked so hard to give us the privilege, many of whom never enjoyed that privilege themselves.
