I get so annoyed at people so lazy as to take a few minutes out of their lives to cast a vote. There is no excuse good enough.
In Nov 2006 my husband and I were living in Nashville. Tennessee had one of the hotest contested senate campaigns that year- Bob Corker and Harold Ford Jr were literally in a dead heat to replace the seat that had been held by Bill Frist. The winner would not only affect our state, but would swing the party balance in the entire Senate.
I hauled my 39 weeks pregnant a$$ self to the polling place at 6:15 am... to wait in line outside for 45 minutes IN THE POURING RAIN. We knew the doors would not open until 7, but we were determined to vote that day, and we had to be at work by 7:30. This was the sacrifice we had to make to have our voices heard.
You do what you gotta do. Enough with the lame excuses.
