The line was long, very long. This made me so proud, I almost feel like breaking into a chorus or to of Lee Greenwoods "God Bless the USA". I wish it didn't take a failing economy to make Americans get out and vote, but I'm glad they are!
Now as I said yesterday hubby and I went to vote the lines were long and it was starting to rain so we went and had lunch thinking "folk will leave since is going to rain, and once lunch time is over lines will be shorter" LOL again we were wrong! We got back after lunch and stood in line for 30 minutes in the rain to vote. Then we found out that the wait was almost 3 hours! LOL W e left because we couldn't be that late getting home. And we had no umbrella! Paul actually managed to go back out and vote at another location near by and get his vote in. I will be going back on Monday to vote, with a book and umbrella in hand!
If you are sitting there thinking....ah well such and such is going to win...he is leading in the polls, or well my vote doesn't really matter...think again! This year this race is going to be one of the most important and possibly one of the biggest in history. Don't think your vote doesn't count, don't assume your guy will win. Exercise your right to vote! And if you don't ....don't whine to me about your taxes, your lost job, your health care or anything else that might be effected by current or future elected officials.
No matter who wins, we are in a recession its not going to change over night, even with a new guy sitting in the big chair. But we can't bury our heads in the sand and hope it all goes away, we have been doing that for 8 years LOL. I'm ready for some change, how about you?
