As We Prepare to Vote

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Beam & Branch Realty TREC #547752

No matter who you are voting for, voting is a privilege that we should all be proud to be able to participate. These past four years have been tumultuous, stressful, and,  uncertain. It appears the process has become more stressful with every Presidential election.

I will be glad to have this one behind us as many of you most likely agree. I won't miss the political ads, the hate talk, the robo calls, and, robo texts! I also will not miss the constant berating of the political talking heads.

Taking the time to vote tomorrow or during early voting is so important for the future of our country. No matter which way the vote comes in, things are going to change. But, we all know the sun will come up again, and for most, life will continue to move forward.

Let's take a moment to catch our breath and remember the huge honor and responsibility we have living in this great country we call America! Make your voice heard and cast your vote for this historic election.

Yes, Myrl - I think everyone is completely weary for sure.

We vote early every time and that's a good thing.

Ter has been so much mud slung that it will take a few weeks for everyone to get cleaned off. It has to have been one of the worst campaign cycles in years.

The mud is certainly thick. It has been disheartening.

Thank you Paula,

For some calm in a very tumultuous political scene. Well said! I've cast my vote on the second day of early voting and let my voice be heard.

You are welcome, Dorie. I pray everyone will take a deep breath tonight and hang on tightly tomorrow.

I have been praying a lot for this upcoming election to go the way that it needs to go.  It's so difficult seeing all of the cheating that is going on and hearing all of the lies being told.

Good morning Paula. Your duty is to vote. It is what you control. How it effects the outcome is beyond your control. Do your duty. Enjoy your day.

Hi Paula,
With all the laws we have, we need one more. I wish it were a law that political candidates couldn't talk about their opponents in their campaigns. They need to tell us what they will do (and mean it), not berate the other person.

 I have voted. Now, all I can do is pray.

Good morning, Paula... I've never missed an election. As an immigrant from behind the Iron Curtain I fully understand the power of a free vote and can't take my right and privilege to voted for granted.

I cannot wait until this is behind us - especially the non-stop ads. Yesterday was the first day we did not get political flyers in the mail. It was great!

the games get worse every four years. I listen to the commercials and the sad thing for me is how little truth is uttered. Just lies about Hitler, Fascism, Communism, Marxism...terrible

My voice is heard. My vote is cast. My prayers are non-stop. 

Oddly, when I woke up this morning, I felt a sense of peace surrounding me, and in my heart. There was an affirming sense and calmness ... God has this.
