Conservative Parenting

I voted too this morning, at 7:15/ took 15 minutes, tops. There was a line initially, maybe 20 people- which didn't seem right- so I went to the front and looked in the gym- there were 10 precinct tables set up like always- with very few people at the tables. All these people were standing in line for no reason! I found the "head guy" and said "If I know my precinct, can I just go to my table?" he said yes, then I told him to point that out to all of those people waiting in line because they think they have to wait in a line...

I got to my table and had to wait for one of two touch screen machines. Not a bad time at all.

 

 

I voted too, it only took about 5 minutes at 8:00.  I live in a small town though.  When I went in and checked in I felt this overwhelming sense of civic pride.  I am so glad that I live in a country where I get a say in who makes the laws. 

Then as I was driving into work past all of the kids standing at the bus stops waiting to go to school, I sent up a little prayer that they will be able to feel that same pride when it's their turn to pick our nation's leaders.  A bit cheesy I suppose, but I am proud to be a voting American! :o)
