It's a Priviledge to Vote!

I am not really big on politics, but I do vote!. My mom told me that it was a priviledge and an honor to be able to vote...it something that you shouldn't take lightly. She would tell me that you need to be educated on what's going on in the world and with who is in office. She was a very smart lady.

This happens to be the biggest election in history right now! A Woman and an African American running for the presidency. How wonderful is that? It brings hope to others that one day they too maybe the one running for office.

I am proud to call America my home, my family has served in the armed forces and I have freinds serving over-seas now. They are fighting for the blanket of freedom for which I get to sleep peacefully under every night. I thank God for them and I pray for their safety. I pray that they all return home shortly and victoriously!

Alot of people do not realize just how important this election is...it determins our future and the furture of our children and their children. We are still one nation under God, and we should being praying on who He wishes us to vote for. We need to make sure that we look at everything those canidates stand for and where they want to lead our nation to. Our forefathers gave us the ablity to vote and there have been people who have did for the right to vote...they paved the way for you to be able to vote, don't you think you should honor them by going out to vote? I think you should, I know I did and I will!

I'm excited about this election and the role that i get to play in history being made. I can't wait to pass along to Anaya the excitement that I have on this issue, I pray that like my friend Anne, I can raise a child who is excited to vote and who gets sad when he doesn't get to go along. Well done Anne, well done!

Remember...go and vote, YOU do make a difference!
