It’s November 6th, 2012. Right now I am standing in line to cast my vote before work in the cold, morning New York City air.
Today is your opportunity, if you are reading this and are a United States citizen, to rock the vote.
If you are a female, remember all the women and suffragists who marched and sacrificed to ensure those coming after them would be able to vote.
Nineteenth Amendment
Passed by Congress June 4, 1919.
Ratified August 18, 1920.
Section 1: The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.
If you are a person of color, remember those who fought to ensure you would have the right to vote.
The Fifteenth Amendment (Amendment XV) to the United States Constitution prohibits each government in the United States from denying a citizen the right to vote based on that citizen’s "race, color, or previous condition of servitude" (for example, slavery). It was ratified on February 3, 1870.
Last but not least, if you are a a male then enjoy the right which you’ve been granted since the beginning of our country.
In case you don’t get my drift quite yet, JUST GO PRACTICE YOUR RIGHT TO VOTE TODAY!
Regular blogging will return this afternoon.
