TODAY I finally made time to call my local county registrar's office so they can send me an absentee ballot pronto! Usually they are closed by the time I get off work and have the chance to call.
Yes, I will get to vote!
I have to admit, I was talking to some friends recently. And they were telling me that the last day to register was last week. LUCKILY, I am already registered. I voted for my first time in the last 2004 election for the big Dubbie-ya (W)! However...THAT (last week) was not the deadline for requesting an absentee ballot!!!
I started thinking about it this morning while I was driving and listening to people on the radio talk about their opinions of the candidates for this election. (Was that a run-on?) And then I realised how much I really do care about this election. I know I will be mailing in my vote. My boss assured me today that my vote would just be thrown away, since that was the big scandal in the last election (the throwing away of mail-in votes). Whatever. I need to try. I know my vote counts too. Voting makes me feel more a part of this country.
We that vote will have a say in the economy...our government...and the world for the next 4 years!!
LET FREEDOM RING!!!!!!!!!!!!! :o)
After I wrote this post, that Reba Macintire song just popped into my head...
