Voting Makes For Positive Attitudes

After Arnell voted at the polls I told him that we can get free stuff for voting. Since I voted by mail, I feebly asked for an "I Voted" sticker. The poll representative said, "You want the freebies, huh?" I laughed and nodded.

We went to Starbucks to get our free coffee and had a little impromptu breakfast. As I fixed up my coffee a 50-something woman approached Arnell and I and said hi. We started to talk about how this country needs change and how Obama has to win this election. "I hope he wins by a landslide. That'll give out a HUGE message." We talked about how huge this election is for everyone and how crazy the lines are to vote because no one wants to miss it. We then continued to talk about how cool it is to get free stuff and soon parted ways.

It's nice to know that people respond very positively after voting. There's some weird high that comes after leaving the poll. Personally, I think it's knowing that I have made a difference. My voice was heard in a quiet way. I now have the right to complain about this country if it's not what I wanted.

I am still praying that California gets it and kills Prop 8.






If you haven't voted today. GO!
