Casting My Vote

Today I will cast my vote, Thanks to Susan B. Anthony I have that right. The movement that was lead by this "radical" woman culminated in the 1920 passage of the 19th amendment. We have come a long way since then. In the sixties there was all the burning of the bras..etched in my mind forever..no I never burned mine..but I was tempted. Women escaped then..from the role of the "little women kept barefoot and preggers in the kitchen." Women actually had opinions, and went to College. From then on there was no looking back..only forward.

I am an Independent and follow no party lines. I refuse to be cow towed by any one party. I look at all the candidates individually. Honesty is something I value. Who is the most honest? Family Values is something else I look at. Who has the best family values? Since I was a Military wife for 26 years, I also look at who will best protect our soldiers, and their families. Who will protect our nation the best? Will anyone stand up for the Veterans? Who can best lead our nation?

I will cast my vote Sarah Palin's way, because I believe that she is the only bright part of our whole political system. I was not a bit excited about the election until she arrived on the scene. I like her "spunk" and the fact that she is a young wife and mother. 85% of the people of Alaska support her, and like her. I believe that she can bring politics back to the people. Will she be a winner? She already is in my book. That would be the book of a married, white, grandmother that lives in the sticks. Will she change our world, someday if her light stays burning and isn't snuffed out it could. I believe she has only just begun to begin to make a difference.

Things I won't miss are all the junk mail, the endless commercials, the political phone calls and all the mudslinging:)
