This elections season has been a very interesting one. There are many firsts in this campaign … We have an African American man who’s won his parties nomination … the first in our countries history! We have a Anglo American woman who is on her parties ticket for Vice President. This has truly been a history making year and as American’s we should be proud of our ability to brake away from the past “norms.” We still have a ways to go, but, hey!, at least we as a nation have taken the first step in blurring the lines between color and gender.On a personal note, I’m glad that this election season is coming to an end cause frankly I’m over it! Nonetheless, no matter where you reside, there are issues that you will be voting for that will either affect your life or someone else's directly or indirectly. Therefore, it is extremely important that all of us understand the issues clearly and as to the ramifications those issues will have should you vote for or against them on election day. So here are some things to think about before you enter that voting booth:
1) Don't vote based on color ... This election has got to be a colorblind vote.
2) Know what your voting for ... Understand the issues and vote your conscience and not with your emotions or party affiliation.
3) Vote what you believe ... Example: Don't say your for gay rights then vote against it. Put your vote where you mouth is!
4) Do not vote for discrimination in any form ... In this respect, discrimination amendments to any Constitution is down right wrong ... Using any Constitution to protect those who discriminate is not the American way and should not be voted for under any circumstances. Leave HATE at home!
5) JUST VOTE!
Happy Voting!
