Today, November 4, 2008 my daughter Heather voted for her first time. She registered before October 20th as that was the cut off. We have been watching the campaigning for the past (how long has it been?) year plus, discussed the candidates, propositions. Heather and I went over the sample ballot together, and she made her own decisions about how to vote, and definitely understood it is a privilege to vote. When Heather came home from school today, we went together to vote down at the Newport Shores clubhouse.
Well, I could not pass up this photo op, so I brought along my camera.
And she is now wearing her "I Voted" sticker.
Congratulations to all first time voters, as it is a momentous time to have your opinion count and respected.
Congratulations Heather!
