Vote

Added: October 13th, 2012 in A Musing or Not

Hello!

Vote!

We here feel it is our duty and want to encourage you to encourage every woman you know to VOTE and to L.O.V.E.  You are your country when you stand in that booth on election day.  Be the best country, the best citizen you can be.  Show up.  Occupy your Self.  Vote.

Remember:  The New Colossus –  the most famous lines of which grace our own Liberty - written for those disenfranchised from other countries – you can draw your own conclusions as to who has joined them in this time.

Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
“Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she
With silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”

-Emma Lazarus

2.  How do I Register?
