Will YOU Vote?

As you know, election day is right around the corner. As much as I dislike dirty politics, there's something that gets me really energized around election season. It's exciting to hear debates and find out what people stand for.  I really really hope that everyone reading this is planning on voting. Few things bother me more than when people complain about something that they have the ability to influence.  We're so incredibly fortunate to live in a society where we're able to vote and it's a shame to waste that opportunity.  Everyone has something to stand for in this election and when millions of people fall back on "I'm just one person, my vote won't make a difference"....IT MAKES A BIG DIFFERENCE! So, make sure you're registered and ready to go (I had to file new paperwork since we moved).  It doesn't matter who you vote for...just rock the vote!!!


If you live in Virginia and need to check on your registration or have any questions, go HERE


And if you're interested, here's a really fascinating article on the virality of civic participation via Facebook.
