Thank you!
I know far too many young people that have admitted they did not vote because ___ (insert excuse here) ___.
I advocated non-stop to, "VOTE." "Vote. It matters." "Are you registered? Did you vote by mail?" "Please vote." I watched two young women cry at the office following the election; they were fearful. (One of them admitted to not voting.). I encouraged them to find strength. Do not give up. Together, we can make the world better; divided, we fail. Call me an eternal optimist. Sure, sure... I have a dark sense of humor and have a dark edge yet I remain hopeful the pendulum will swing back towards the light and enlightenment
