I’m sure by now you are probably sick of hearing people say VOTE VOTE VOTE and I wouldn’t normally post about the subject but someone said something to me today that I just really couldn’t believe I was hearing. My sister and I had just gotten home from voting and a friend we knew from school called. We asked if she had voted yet and she said something to me I won’t ever forget, “Oh I don’t vote. My husband votes for us and he went early this morning.”
Wait, what? Your husband votes for “us”? In an age where girls are so proud to should GIRL POWER how could any modern woman say such a thing? You have a voice too and if you don’t express your views then the luxuries you enjoy such as the right to work, equal pay and issues like Health care may go unheard. YOU HAVE A VOICE SO USE IT. Don’t count on others doing the right thing. You do the right thing. Please, it’s so important that you vote.
Every single vote counts! STAND UP AND BE COUNTED!
