After following the Presidential campaigning for over a year, voting in the primaries, watching the interviews, listening to the debates, and reading the articles, I finally made up my mind last week about who I am voting for.
The reason I waited so long was because I wanted to have as much information as possible to help me make a decision. I didn't want to rush to a judgement.
I don't vote for the party, or the candidate's personality, but rather the principles of the person.
So tomorrow, I will stand in line, for as long as it takes, to have my voice heard, and vote.
This is the one time in my life where I actually don't mind standing in line. In fact, the longer I need to wait in line, the more I realize how important and significant my vote really is and how thankful I am to live in a country where I have an opportunity to do this.
I believe in overnight mail, and microwaves, and cell phones, and faxes, air travel, and having Olympic track and field records broken. I like speed and effeciency. I often crave it.
But tomorrow is the one day that I will put all of this speed and effeciency on hold, and I will stand in line, for as long as it takes, when I could have already mailed my ballot in, and I will vote.
I suggest you do the same. :)
