GO VOTE TODAY! & take a picture!

DID YOU VOTE?

UPDATE:  I voted! Sorry Dad, Sorry Mom…your little girl went the other way! I know you still love me…well, I know my mom does.
Tyler, Marina, Shaun, The girls and I went into the polling place (no line) and I had just dropped Kara off so she could do her last day of standing up for what she believes in:

Kara

I had the girls hang out with me as I filled in the little bubbles with the black pen.  They felt like they were sneaking into Santa’s workshop and getting a sneak peek.
I’m not going to tell you what happened and why I needed to go back and get another ballot because I screwed up on my first one, but if you don’t believe in the power of signs in your face 24/7 then you’re nuts.

After I loaded it into the machine I asked the guy if I could keep the pen.  The men and women seemed a little hesitant, but I said, “This is the pen I voted with. THIS means something to me. Please.” and they said yes and they were rewarded with a hug.

Send me the link to your voting picture! If you already voted and didn’t get a picture…that’s okay, it’s November 4th, 2008…step outside and take a picture, because today history is going to be made.

If you leave me a comment with your link to your blog, I’ll come comment and encourage others to see your ‘I voted’ picture!

It’s okay if you didn’t take a picture during the voting (you can’t..it’s against the law!), go take a picture of something you love…today is a day in history, have a picture to remember it by, even if it has nothing to do with voting!

ARE YOU VOTING PEOPLE? COME ON!! SEND ME YOUR LINKS!!

    I voted last week before this assignment but I did put up a related video.
    I’ve got to quit to coffee today, already getting antsy.

    What a GREAT idea! I found you over at KC’s Mindless Chatter of a Busy Mom’s blog. I had to join in, I made a promise to myself that I wouldn’t get political, but…lol!

    Okay, I voted and I posted a photo on my blog. That sounds so weird to say. I’m usually posting photos on my Flickr. Btw, I took out my camera so that I could take a photo of the front of my polling site and I was stopped by a policeman. They are serious about that “no photos” thing :) So I just took a shot of me with my voting sticker. It means a lot to me and I am so proud of myself for voting!

    I just came over here to tell you that I am mad at you! :D You promised that if we left a comment on here with a link to our blogs and a photo about voting on our blogs that you would come over and leave a comment. You did not come leave a comment on my sad ass little blog and I cried! It was the ugly cry too!!! It went down to the very depths of my soul! :D :D

    (even though i’ve got “seahorse photography” next to my name on your comments it’s actually linked to my blog. you know, in case you didn’t know. in that case i’ll let you slide this time without too much harrassment!;))
