Ignore The Diatribe, Just Get Out and VOTE!
|
I have been pretty darn quiet this election season for me, well except for a column for Main Line Life I wrote in October called "Will we all survive until November 5?" It has been a trying election season with lots of door knocking, nasty glossy advertisements from campaigns,robo-calls galore, massive chain e-mails, finger pointing, sign stealing, sticker elves, bumper sticker wars, and wondering if some politicians have PTS (political tourettes syndrome). The most fun I have had comes courtesy of Saturday Night Live and Tina Fey. When Tina decides to run for office, I will be first in line to volunteer. I am going to hit DELETE for any and all political e-mails between now and tomorrow so that I can have a clear head to make an informed decision on each and every race. I am going to get beyond the war of words so I can hear my own voice, and decide what is best for ME. I will be remembering the politicians who took the time to learn MY name and care about MY issues. Am I going to tell you whom I am voting for now? No, because it doesn't matter. What matters is I am going to get out and vote. And that is all that should matter to anyone at this point. Politicians should count themselves fortunate if they have not managed to turn OFF the entire electorate in what is the nastiest campaign season EVER. Tomorrow at the polls will undountedly be a long process. Voters will have to run the gauntlet of party and candidate faithful from both sides of the aisle. Let the nastiness of election season roll off your back and get in there and exercise your rights and freedom of choice. Vote for who represents YOU best - not me, not your mom, not Jane around the corner. Just do it. Just VOTE! See you at the polls. Bookmark/Search this post with: |
