I Voted
SO, yesterday was the Presidential Primary in NY state. I voted, and my person did not win NY, but still has a chance.
Why am I talking about it?
Because as a Christian parent, I think it is important that I set an example for my kids in doing what I can to help improve things in America (and the world). I know a lot of people who don’t vote, have never voted, and plan on never voting.
It is their right not to take the right to vote and use it, but what if that right was taken away because so many people don’t use it?
I know, you are probably thinking I am nuts to even consider such a thing.
Well, maybe I am- but there are many countries where there is no right to vote. Then there are a few where it is the law that people must vote- and MUCH pressure to vote a certain way.
I like it here- maybe not as much as I would if every vote counted instead of using delegates- but it is a lot better than not having the option, and better than being forced or coerced to vote a certain way.
So, I will participate. I have even gone as far as allowing political signs to be put in my yard before.
I will even wear the little sticker that says, “I Voted Today!”, proudly.
If it comes right down to two people I am not crazy about in the final election, then I will still vote-
BECAUSE I STILL CAN!
