– I considered not voting on Tuesday.
– I considered not voting because I don’t relate with anyone running.
– I considered not voting because I’m not a white male.
– I considered not voting because I’m exhausted.
– I considered not voting because I don’t have a lot of money and I have an ordinary job.
– I considered not voting because I don’t feel very important or powerful.
– I considered not voting because I’m confused about who really means what they say.
– I considered not voting because I’m really depressed about where I think this country is headed.
– I considered not voting because I think the rich control everything anyway.
– I considered not voting because I stopped watching TV since there was no viewpoint that didn’t have an agenda.
– I considered not voting because I’m just a mom.
– I considered not voting because I know that on Tuesday I’m going to have to rush home to get something on the table to feed my hungry boys.
– I considered not voting because I don’t think my voice matters.
Then I read that 36% of people don’t vote. Those people don’t vote even though our ancestors fought and died for this right.
So on Tuesday I’m going to make time to vote.
– I’m voting because I don’t relate with anyone running — my voice matters.
– I’m voting because I’m not a white male — my voice matters.
– I’m voting because I’m exhausted — my voice matters.
– I’m voting because I don’t have a lot of money and I have an ordinary job — my voice matters.
– I’m voting because I don’t feel very important or powerful — my voice matters.

– I’m voting because I’m depressed about where I think this country is headed — my voice matters.
– I’m voting because I think the rich control everything — my voice matters.
– I’m voting because I stopped watching TV — my voice matters.
– I’m voting because I’m just a mom — my voice matters.

Dinner can wait!
Charlie, 6 weeks old, when I voted in 2008!
Yep to all of that. And I early voted last week. My grandmother voted in every election she was was allowed/eligible for. I owe it to her. I live in a district very aligned to my views but a state very opposite to my views. I owe it to my state to vote.
It’s important to vote but it’s also important to know who you’re voting for. Do you homework and Google those candidates.
Thank you!!!! I appreciate the support!
Anyone can cast an absentee ballot. You don’t have to have a specific reason. Next election request your ballot ahead of time. So much less stressful to do it at home versus rushing before or after work or hauling the kids out.
I will be doing that next time for sure!! Thanks for the tip!
Seconding the absentee voting. So much easier and no stress (except when you actually research the candidates).
