Vote!



Today marks a very exciting event not just for myself but for the state of Pennsylvania as all eyes are on us this primary day. I woke up early this morning so that I could give myself enough time to stop at the polling station in Hatboro and cast my vote for Barack Obama. While there I was greeted with a hello and handshake from our town Mayor "Norm" and given a bright pink slip of paper that solely read DEMOCRAT. I was all prepared to be bombarded with eager volunteers curious as to who my support would go to, but alas there wasn't a lot of fanfare. I was in and out of there in 5 minutes.
Still, I'm really proud to be a citizen of PA. While Barack may not take the state tonight in victory, the numbers of people turning out to support him will no doubt be impressive and I'm happy to have taken part in it. I've been moved by his message and with the way he has handled himself, especially with Hillary's attack ads in full force (and believe me they have been- I got three pre-recorded calls a day this last week from her camp doing just that).

No matter what your views are it feels good to express your opinions with the power of voting and everyone should take part in the process. I'm not one for preaching but in this case it's important enough to warrant it.

So Vote!

Good for you!

And wow, three phone calls in one day? That's more than a little excessive.
