Standing in line for 30 minutes to vote this morning was an honor. That there was a line of nearly 100 people before 7:30 was very, very encouraging.
I couldn’t help noticing people griping about having to stand in line to vote or that the line was moving so slowly. Like they would prefer to roll out of bed, walk over to their computer, press a button and vote.
One rather irate gentleman ahead of me, after waiting for about 15 minutes, stormed out of line and left. I couldn’t help myself and had to mutter, “Hope you’re a Republican”.
I couldn’t help but think…it’s happening right now. Within 12 hours we could really see some serious changes in this once great nation of ours. We can only hope. But we have to do more than hope.
If you’re Republican and you haven’t yet voted..it’s damp out there, cold and rainy with long lines. Stay at home where it’s nice and warm, cook and prepare something on your granite counter tops, and check your stock account status for the 140th time (today).
If you’re a Democrat, pack a hot beverage and some lunch, grab a good book and a sturdy umbrella, and get out there, get in line and vote. Pitch a tent if you have to.
