Week 39 Why I Vote

 
I agonized about my vote for awhile and the day of was more worrisome than I had anticipated. The election was more than Republican or Democrat and I was sick and tired of being called "Undecided."  I was never ever "Undecided"  I had "decided" long ago that I did not like either candidate.  I can see by the division of the country that most people agree with me they do not like either candidate.  I prayed something would happen to change my mind and make the decision clear. I felt so strongly that at one point I was going to write my name on the ballot and not a vote for President.  I decided I wanted to be part of the democratic process and appreciate the sacrifice of the men and women who have fought for this country.  As a woman, the opportunity to cast a ballot is a greater privilege.  Women have not been voting very long and still cannot vote in many countries.  It was difficult to punch that ballot but I didn't necessary vote for president I voted for the honor and privilege to safely say who I did or did not want to be in charge of my country.  I will not lie it was tough the lesser of two evils is still evil.  On the upside, I get to complain for the next for years!
