It's election night and many of us are streaming live on the internet and checking the social blogs for updates or maybe you are sitting near the television listening closely as the electoral votes go up. We've done all that we can do; our votes are cast and soon our voices will be heard as we learn who will be the 45th President of the free world. I have faith that my candidate will prevail, but if he doesn't we as the 47% know how to survive under unjust distress. As I scroll through my facebook account I see many people on pins and needles with each new red and blue mark on the map. As the polls close across the time zones we are watching not only what the folks out west have to say, but still biting our nails as we wonder what a few swing states like Ohio and Florida might do.
Well while we wait... I would like to say thank you to all of you that got out and exercised your right to vote. I must say that I am so proud of the youth, many of my daughter's friends and little cousins had their first chance to vote this election and I remember my first time at the poll when I helped elect Former President Bill Clinton into office. I submitted my ballot with such pride that day and I must admit that I get that same excited feeling every time I enter the poll booth because I know that it is the one time that I stand equal and that my color or gender don't matter. I count, just because I took the time to VOTE!!
