Didja, huh?
It’s so important. There are people in the world who would die for the opportunity to do what we’re doing today. There were people in this world died so that you and I could do it. Like you, I sometimes wonder if we are making a difference. Is my vote merely balancing out yours? Are we putting people in office who can and will make a real difference? Will what we do today have any impact at all? Sometimes I doubt it, but most days I know that to not vote would be the worst kind of obscenity. Whether or not we get the changes we seek, we must let our voices be heard. This is our chosen way of doing it.
Go vote! It’s a right. It’s a privilege. It’s a duty.

Glad to see other people getting out there!
I voted a week ago Wednesday; did it early on a day hubbie was off.

I was excited to vote in a swing state this time around. It felt more like it mattered. Of course, I voted before when it wasn’t exactly swaying the electoral votes.
