Get out and vote
I voted this morning. It took about an hour and a half, but I stood in line to do my civic duty and cast my ballot. Our congressman Harold Ford, Jr., who also lives on Mud Island, waited in line behind me. At that moment, I felt like every U.S. citizen does have an equal voice. I also thought about how fortunate our daughter will be to live in a country where she will have the right to vote--not only as a woman--but as a citizen. She will have the opportunity to live in a country where she could someday stand in line with a U.S. congressman (she could be a U.S. congressman!) and let her voice be heard. It made me proud today to be an American and experience the freedoms we have here.
