Tomorrow is here!

After years of anticipation – it’s here.  In spite of fabricated talk of conspiracy, rigged elections and rampant crooked behavior – it’s here. After months of Congressional, State Department and FBI investigations – it’s here! Despite obscene debate talk that included the size of a candidates private parts –  it’s here!  Even with a Supreme Court being held ransom by a Senate that refuses to fill a vacant seat – it is here

Tomorrow will arrive as scheduled … tomorrow.

Tomorrow, American democracy will stand, and an election will take place. Tomorrow our democracy depends on us to vote, and when we do; beginning tomorrow, we will come back stronger than ever. I am not naïve, I don’t view life or politics in black and white. I am deeply troubled by the hateful campaign talk AND, even more troubled by how easy it was for one man to capture the narrative of negativity and fear bringing to the forefront the divided country we have become. I am concerned about the content of the Wikileaks emails, proud that our government has followed up, AND equally concerned that the inquisition has been based on stolen information.I am concerned how many people believe the Executive, Judicial and Legislative branches of our democracy are part of a mass conspiracy AND, I believe with all my heart that  we can learn to trust one another and work together once again.

Tomorrow I am voting my truth.

  •  I am voting as an advocate of woman’s rights, gay rights, black rights, immigrant rights that is to say – human rights.
  •  I am voting to support of equal pay.
  •  I am voting because it important that we maintain a progressive Supreme Court.
  •  I am voting because health care coverage matters.
  •  I am voting tomorrow because it’s important to have a strong and experienced leader   as our President
  •  I am voting to support gun control and  background checks
  •  I am voting for the protection of our environment
  •  I am voting because I ball people must pay their fair share in taxes.

I am voting tomorrow because my voice only matters, when I make it heard.
