ROCK THE VOTE!

           All I can say is VOTE!!!  I'm very passionate about this for many reasons....I get chills just thinking about this great country and all that has happened on this soil to make this country.  My Granny took me to Washington D.C. when I was fifteen and I'll never forget the Arlington Cemetery.  The feel to be where our country was founded and on the soil that all those before us have been.  If you can't understand the importance of the history of this great country then I really feel for you because you are totally missing out!  First and foremost it's your obligation to all those men & women who have fought past, present, & future and many paying the ultimate sacrifice so that we may have the RIGHT TO VOTE!  Many people in other countries will never have that opportunity.  Second...we may not agree with our political leaders or think our vote doesn't matter but this is the system we have now.  So make your voice be heard no matter what!  Third...it hasn't been that long ago that women & people of color did not have the RIGHT TO VOTE.  So wake up and take advantage of what others before us have fought so very hard for.  It's like a slap in the face to all our military and those that fought so that we can have a voice.  How could we be so disrespectful to not take the time to vote???  Am I happy with my choices for this election? ABSOLUTELY NOT!  But I still have to vote.  Indifference is a scary thing and quite frankly a road I don't want to go down.  So with all of my might I encourage all to vote and take pride in your freedom to do so!!!!   ROCK THE VOTE!!! (I know this is from a liberal campaign back in the 80's but I kinda like it...but by no means am I a liberal!)
