I feel so lucky that I never had to beg my daughter to vote. She has learned how much her future depends upon who's running this country. Sadly my best friend has paid his son to vote today......for just a mere $300.00 that he came and asked his father for to keep his electric on.

1. sad that someone has to be bribed to vote. wtf. i feel lucky that i can vote. |
|
so many do not have that option. even if the choices aren't the greatest, we at least have SOME voice in the process.

4. My daughter is 18 and votes for the first time today! |
|
She's pretty aware of what's going on in politics. Although she's registered as an "I", she's voting for the "Ds".
I'm proud of her!!! :D

6. i was so excited to vote when i did in my first election i watched the debates and everything. |
|
it was bush/clinton/perot. and i voted for perot because i felt both bush and clinton were talking out of both sides of their mouths. when my kids got home they said, hey mom don't forget to vote.... and i said i already did. went after they got on the bus for school. but i am happy that they reminded me. ashley (5) had a ribbon made out of construction paper that said 'vote' on it.
