Fight for your Right....

Be the change you wish to see in the world. ~Gandhi
WHY DO YOU THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO VOTE?
Voting is your voice.  It is how we contribute our say in how we are governed.  Sometimes it feels like one voice doesn’t count for much, but I still feel like it’s very important.

ARE YOU ALIGNED WITH ONE POLITICAL PARTY?
I am registered as a Democrat.

WOULD YOU BE WILLING TO CROSS PARTY LINES IF A CANDIDATE STOOD FOR SOMETHING YOU BELIEVED IN?
Totally! I vote for the candidates whose philosophies most align with my own.
Picture
HAVE YOU EVER NOT VOTED? WHAT KEPT YOU FROM VOTING IN THAT ELECTION(S)?
Actually, I did miss an election once.  I had a stomach bug or something.  I made my (then) husband 
(who had no intention of voting) go vote for the candidates I wanted to win
WHAT IS THE GREATEST LENGTH YOU HAVE GONE TO IN ORDER TO CAST YOUR VOTE?
I don’t know. Voting has never been difficult for me and I do appreciate that fact.  I know that many are not so fortunate. People wait hours, travel long distances, put much effort into being able to vote and that is just in this country.  So many people world wide don’t have that opportunity, we shouldn’t dismiss our privilege so easily.

That is so true Donna. Just look at reports and photos of people in other countries that wait in lines hundreds deep to let their voice be heard. The people that celebrate when their country celebrates becoming democratic and able to vote. It certainly is a privilege that unfortunately is taken for granted due to many of us becoming jaded by poor leadership. But we have to have hope. Thanks for your comment.

Great question! Greatest lengths I went to was the year Obama was elected. I swear, I was there ALL NIGHT LONG. HOURS and hours to vote. Doors were locked and the line was still SO long. Totally worth it even if the family didn't think so. Yesterday's election was affected by very poor voter turnout. The left doesn't generally turn out for midterms, which is shameful for them.
