Today I voted, I live in a state where there are no restrictive voter ID laws, I live in a community filled with diversity. Today I voted but along the way to the polling station I passed a few people, living on the streets, asking for food, men and women with dirty clothes and much more interested in just surviving then Feeling the Bern, or Helping Hillary. They didn’t vote,they can hardly cope the only hope for them today is the compassion of the rest of us to make the correct decisions.
Today I voted, I grew up with parents who told me it is a privilege, honor and responsibility to participate in the ‘American Way’. Today I voted and this is the first time I can remember just how precious this opportunity to decide my future via politics really was. I didn’t vote for the lesser of two evils, I did not vote out of spite, I voted because I see not only the long term view, but realize how important the immediate future looms. I witnessed citizens along the way to the polling station who have no voice, and I wondered is this foreshadowing for the rest of us?
Today I voted, I was proud to do so. I voted knowing if we don’t unite and find common ground, then there will be no ground to stand upon which will support many of us.
