Wednesday, November 7

yesterday was election day

and i didn't vote.

no i didn't go to the polls, and this is the first Election i have missed voting in since i was 18.

our city council remained the same (no surprise there), thank-god people had some sense not to increase taxes for a new jail-

voting is a big thing in my household, elections and issues use to drive my every day life. i use to know every ones platform, knew soundbites about the issues, use to organize people to get to the polls.

but this year, this year i just didn't have any umpth-this year i wasn't working or tied to a candidate, this year, i didn't work for an issue campaign, didn't sign up to vote, or filled out my change address form.

this year i was angry about the fact that you have to show your photo id, with a current address.

but, i didnt go and fight, no....carrie didnt jump on a table and scream this is unconstitutional that you need my id to vote. (why is this an issue because of the homeless population, people who move often)

no i didnt do much at all-
