Your great-grandmother is proof that things can change. And for people in the LGBT community or people of color or women or immigrants, etc. things have changed significantly and will continue to change based on who is in power presidentially or congressionally. (And yeah, I just made those words up.)<br /><br />I'm a liberal. A progressive. Somewhat of a socialist. I admit that. I have no qualms about talking about my political positions or personal beliefs. I will never, however, tell people what to think or how to vote or anything like that. I will express what I think is true or important but at the end of the day I just want to people to have informed opinions regardless of what they are. Being an informed voter is more important than who you vote for. Being a voter period is more important than what party you belong to.<br /><br />Get out and vote tomorrow people!gabrielreadshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11809365791580695386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4515719778921089707.post-29656527056812749852012-11-05T13:08:40.091-05:002012-11-05T13:08:40.091-05:00Here, here!

I vote not only because it's my civic duty, but because my great-grandmother marched with suffragettes for my right to vote and it was a hard-won fight.<br /><br />So yes - no matter what your political leanings, vote vote vote!Sushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10552908436147965630noreply@blogger.com
