I have been very disappointed in my voting career. It seems the choice generally seems to be between the lesser of two evils. I can't remember the last time I was actually excited about a particular candidate.
Even when I have started out feeling really good about someone, they go on in their campaign to do something that I consider embarrassing (like engage in mud slinging) and I end up once again discouraged.

Today my daughter sent me an email titled Iron Jawed Angels, it was about women gaining the right to vote, it truly did make me ashamed of the times I did not vote (like today). It is an important right and it's up to us to exercise it. Unfortunately, I do believe that their are some elections where we really don't get to make the decision about who will represent us (like in the Presidential race) but it is still important to cast our vote and stand up for what we believe to be right. I will be sure that I am voting in the next elections and probably locally, no matter what the consequences may be, I live here now and I want to make a difference.
