Today Is The Day! Vote!

Today is the day! Vote as if your life depends on it because it does!

So finally today is the day, hopefully it will be a day of change. We have all had enough of the ads, of the lies, and for many of us, enough of #45.

I have written many blogs about this election and #45 and I figured I might as well end it on election day. I know by now most people have picked who they are going to vote for but many people figure they don't need to vote because their vote doesn't matter.

So I will give one final plea to those out there who think their vote doesn't matter, who feel like neither candidate is worthy. I am begging you, every vote counts.

It only takes one person, one person to change the world…

Rosa Parks sat so Martin Luther King would walk. Martin Luther King walked so Obama could run. Obama ran so we can fly…

Yes, one person, then another person, starts the movement. 

Many women didn't think they would ever have a voice until someone fought for it.

Many black people never thought they would sit in the front of the bus until Rosa Parks said enough is enough. Many blacks didn't think they would have the same rights after years of oppression but Martin Luther King changed that. We all thought a black man would never become the president of the United States of America but Obama changed that. One person, one vote, one protest, one voice, can and will change the world.

If we all said it doesn't matter, that our vote doesn't count for what we want, or what we need for our families, for our well-being then it will be in someone else's hands. If we all thought the candidates were both horrible, and yes, I agree but look at what happened when we didn't vote, we had 4 years of hate and disrespect for women, for people with disabilities, and for anyone who didn't agree with #45.

He didn't make America great again, he made America HATE again. 

Do you want 4 more years of that? Racial unrest? Out and out racism, more than we have seen in the last 60 years?

Remember when he called the KKK and hate groups nice people? Told them to stand tall and stand by? For what? To stir up more hate? His party said Puerto Rico was a floating garbage dump. Is this what we want? This racism and hatred towards others?

                                              We need to heal, we need to go forward, to try to fix all the issues he has caused not to take us back to the 50s when women didn't have a say, blacks couldn't vote or be treated with dignity and the LGBT community had to hide in their closets. He wants to keep the good ole boys club to be exclusive like it always has been. No! We will not stand for that. Too many people fought and died for these rights and we will not be bullied into going back there.

See, they are hoping that you feel that way, that your vote doesn't count, and that you won't vote because it gives them more power. They are hoping you don't like either candidate and not vote. They are hoping they will intimidate you to keep quiet so they will win.

So today my friends, let me leave you with this… it is such a powerful quote that could have saved millions of lives during the holocaust if we all thought about others and if other people spoke out.

“First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—

Because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—

Because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—

Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me” 

Martin Niemöller (1892–1984)

Listen to these words…Then they came for me and there was no one to speak for me….. 

You must speak out for other's rights because one day they might be your rights that they are after….

Maybe we need to remember what America is supposed to stand for...

"I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

Liberty and justice for all….not some….

Or what greeted so many immigrants that risked their lives to come here…

On the great Statue of Liberty: 

"Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore, Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

This was when America was truly great when we believed these things…. When we opened our arms to others when everyone was welcomed here.

So vote as if your life depends on it because it does!

Vote! Vote! Vote! 

"Be the change you want to see"
