Please Vote

I'm making one final plea before the election tomorrow: Please vote. Being politically savvy may not be the fad right now. The glory days of 2008 where my generation was filled with over zealous hope are long gone, but hope still exists. Not having our every desire satisfied in two brief years is not reason to turn our back on a presidency that has attained so much for us.

If you are in college on a Pell Grant, thank Obama for expanding both the program and the the amount you receive. If you've graduated and are still on your parents health insurance, thank Obama for the health reform he managed to pass. He has done more for our generation than any president in our history. Many have spoken about making it easier for Americans to go to college, he's the only one to have acted.

I am frustrated too that DADT is still active. I hate that we continue to fight a pointless war that is costing us more than we can afford in American dollars and troops. I'm dissatisfied too! That's why I'm voting. If the GOP take power, do you honestly think we'll be any closer to attaining those goals?

Here is a website with voting guides for individual states. It's a great place to begin sorting through the hodge-podge of untruths that have been told and find the candidates that most align with your beliefs. I hope it's helpful.

Please vote.
