It’s ELECTION DAY: Time to Cast Your VOTE

Four years ago on election day, I was sure I would go to bed and awake with Hillary Clinton elected as our next president.

After all she won the popular vote by three million– THREE MILLION MORE people voted for Hillary Clinton than the guy who defeated her via electoral college and became the 45th US President.

But she didn’t win.

Instead a guy who bragged about sexually assaulting women won.

It boggles the brain even today.

There are many reasons NOT to vote him in again.

For examples, protection of our planet in various ways from deforestation to climate change.

“A vote for Joe Biden isn’t really about the next four years. It’s about the long march of time that stretches out ahead of us. And about every creature and human being that will live in those misbegotten years,” writes climate activist Bill Mckibben.  “All American elections determine the character of the country for the next four years. And they have a lot to say about what the world will feel like too – that’s what it means to be a superpower. But this election may determine the flavor of the next four millennia – maybe the next 40.” Read the entire article here.

Protecting people’s rights is another reason to kick him out of the People’s House.

Spread the word!

me in my mask and in my current mood

But after today, that’s it. Today’s the final day.

And as long as you’re in line when the polls close, they will let you vote.

Don’t be discouraged by long lines. Bring water and something to read. (Like this blog or Wine Predator!)

Your vote counts. Vote. Vote. Vote.
