I did it. I piled my three boys into the car and voted. It was an extreme relief to be able to have my say in this election. I voted for and against several things but all from the same motivation.

I voted for peace, hope, change, kindness to animals, protection of our environment, equal rights for all, a stronger economy, healthcare for the entire country, education for my children – and yours, to end the war in Iraq and to bring our brave soldiers home to their families.

I voted for myself and my children and my husband and my friends and my mother and grandmother and my dad. I voted because it is my duty, my right and my privledge. I voted because women fought hard for the right for me to do so and I don’t want to let them down. I voted because I love my country and I want to see her succeed. I voted because I love people and I want to know that tomorrow will have a chance to be better than today.

Did you vote?
