I know that Corey blogged about this topic on Sunday – but I just cannot think of anything else to blog about today that makes any sense and would not seem completely superfluous. I suppose you can consider this a theme.

In this country, we have the power and privilege to vote. We get to show that our voice matters. I have been so heartened by all the talk of voting in recent weeks, the strategizing about when to vote and by what method. The electorate is as engaged as we have ever seen it. So, do it. If you haven’t already, just done it. If you have already, I personally thank you and so does every other American.

I have always felt strongly about using the power of voting. I remember very affirmatively teaching that value to my children. As soon as they could understand, we took them to the voting booth with us. Remember going behind the curtain and literally pulling the lever in a voting booth? I loved that feeling and so did both of my kids.

Have you voted?
