Freedom to Vote
I am so very glad that the Presidential Election Time is here
again! It didn’t come fast enough for me. I did my part a few weeks ago. Standing there, in a long line shivering in
the breezy cold wind, gave me a sense of pride and a connection with others shivering
with me.
Regardless of our political
stance, we all were standing together, united, and ready to cast our early
vote. It was amazing to see these
strangers, different genders, races, and who knows what other backgrounds, stand
with me. I imagine that this was what
our forefathers had intended – to unite people together, regardless of their
background, and voice their opinions.
This is why we are America.
I may not agree on the leadership and the state of our
country. There are a lot of things about
our society that troubles me that I could write Many posts about. Whatever the case, I am still proud to be an
American woman who relished in the chance to vote. I am proud that I can share my beliefs and
opinions openly so far without the fear of being persecuted. Many times I groan and
moan about where our country is headed but I am so thankful for our
freedom. We have lots of freedom and
rights that we don’t really realize or appreciate. We
are very lucky compared to most. Things
could be a lot better but things could be a lot worse too.
I am not sure what our future holds. Regardless who wins the Presidential Election, there will always be One God. I am glad I am His. Today I am thankful that Americans get
the right to vote. Even if you don’t
think your vote matters, vote anyway. Take advantage of having that right.
