Today, November 4th, 2008 is my first Presidential Election and by far the most important in the history of our nation. I will not disclose my vote for President or any of the measures on my ballot, but i will simply say that i did my part.As an American Woman i let my voice be heard. Women's Suffrage would have been in vein if we didn't exercise our right to vote. After a difficult [and many times dangerous] seventy year struggle to secure a woman's right to vote, in August of 1920 the Nineteenth Amendment was ratified.
"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 an American [18 or older] it is your responsibly to share your voice. Every vote counts. Cast your ballot and let your voice be heard!
