Exercise you right
To vote
I cannot believe how fast these past 12 months have gone by! You would have imagined I must have been imprisoned somewhere in a high tower in some far away castle. However, that has not been the case. Instead, my dear readers, I will share with you that during the past 12 months I have had to take my own advice and have courage in the face of adversity.
However, I won't burden anyone here with the list of my own personal obstacles. What I will share with you is that like many of you out there, I have faced seemingly insurmountable challenges. I just want you to know that you're not alone and when I wrote what I wrote before, it was from the heart and from my own experience.
The reason for taking the time to write to you today is to urge you to go to the ballots and exercise your right as a citizen and vote. I won't tell you who to vote for, although it is very clear that the Democratic ticket is more aligned with my views and values than the Republican ticket. There is no doubt that historically, the Democrats have done more for women and gay rights issues than the Republicans have. Nevertheless, I won't get into a political discussion here. All I want to do is urge you to exercise that wonderful right you have and make history in this election. It is important. It is hugely important.
So, if you are in a state that permits early voting, go and try to do it now. If you're in NY State, where early voting is not permitted, then try to take the day off on Tuesday since you can bet there will be long, long lines. This is a worthy day to take off. Thank goodness the weather has been predicted on the sunny side. And hey, if you get out early, perhaps you should meet with your favorite girl and have lunch or dinner or drinks at some fabulous little place and celebrate the election.
And if you feel like sharing who you voted for and why (and it can be done anonymously), feel free to share here.
Thank you for continuing to visit and I look forward to seeing you here again.
