vote.

did you vote?

i did.

after 2-ish hours in line.

but with every step toward the booth, i thought about. . .

people who live under a government that refuses them the dignity of a differing opinion.

the thousands of men and women willing to offer their lives in the name of freedom as we go about ours.

the lifeblood sacrificed fighting for the simple right to vote.

and the right i inherited to have a voice that must be counted.

and somehow, that forever long line seemed a small offering to those who made my vote possible.

the campaign rhetoric leading up to this moment has been nothing more than
noise.

but today, my friends, our voice matters.

GET OUT AND VOTE.
