Election Day 2008
Tuesday, November 4, 2008 by The Traveler
The kids and I went and voted today, in person, this afternoon!! It is truly wonderful that I was able to share this experience with them. I'm so grateful that I have the right to vote and make my voice heard!!!!!
I really am grateful to all of those who fought to give me this right and will forever be in their debt. I am so humbled that they fought and struggled for what they believed in and created change so that all Americans to have an equal voice.
So each and every time it is time to vote - no matter what I am doing, how busy or tired I am - I think back to the women in my family who couldn't vote before 1920, and make sure I am prepared and always vote. I see this as my duty and my responsibility. I strongly believe in our democratic republic and want to pass on the honor, duty, and responsibility of being a good citizen to my children.
