No vote IS a vote!

As funny as you may think the above picture is...it is NOT! Whether you like, love, hate or have extreme disdain for any, or all, the candidates SOMEONE will be our next president of the United States and it is deplorable behavior on your part if you do not read or hear the issues and stances these candidates take, then choose the lesser of all evils. 

I don't have to remind you that people LITERALLY fought, bled, hung, and died for equal rights of ALL citizens to vote. I suppose we've lived such seemingly "comfy" lives that we've gotten far-removed from the struggles of Civil Rights that slap us in the face, even today! Everyone is affected! 

It's only been 40 years since the Voting Rights law was enacted! Do we forget? Perhaps it's not taught in schools any longer or it's not preached over the pulpit. By the way...those weren't questions for you to answer for me. They were meant so that you could take pause. 

Pause. 

Think.

It's NOT enough to register! You must make a choice, get up, and VOTE! All elections are critical. Focus on the bigger scheme of it all. I'm not telling you which candidate to vote for, but I do urge you to toss that sarcasm. Then, educate yourself on these candidates. What do they stand for? What is their "tag" line? If you don't know...Listen to coffee table or water fountain talk...whichever way you learn, but you have to do something to KNOW what issues these candidates are "fighting" for. Don't NOT vote because you're discouraged. Don't say you're NOT voting because no one is "worth it". One of these individuals WILL run this country for the next FOUR years! That's a long time, on our part, to not care about the polls! 

Get there! 

Love and light,
