messageThis could be the best thing for our country. It is interesting that our government says what hard, great workers we are, wouldn’t allow us the time to vote.
I got to thinking about this idea and I remembered last year how hard it was for me to vote (I live in Southeast Florida). I had to stand in line to vote for almost an hour. I had worked all day then pick up my kids and cook dinner, but I was determined to vote. I look at the amount of workers who vote and it’s a hard day for most.
What about single moms? When do they get to vote. I know I didn’t vote in the 2000 election because, I had no one to take my 4 year old daughter after I worked all day.
I totally agree with making election day a National Holiday and will take this one off and the next, you get the point.
The more people who do this the bigger impact it will make. If we all treat election day like a Sunday, even, in the workforce, we would have a more positive election, in which the voice of the workforce would be heard!

On it…Posted a bulletin on myspace. Plan on writing an article about it also.
With the stirs of this election being stolen again, even if coming from conspiracy theorists, there is one way to have it happen and that is the working class of America, who believe we need a change, can’t stand in line. They are already talking about a shortage of voter polls in democratic neighborhoods and it isn’t right.
