Go vote and help us ‘Rise’!

I’m embarrased to say I have never voted before, until today. My roommate from college, Jake (a political science major), gave me plenty of talks about why I should. I guess I needed to grow up, have a family, own a home and have our own business to realize how much it effects me.

I’m not going to tell you who to vote for. I’m still not one for politics and fell asleep on all the debates and could barely comprehend half of what they were talking about. But I do know a change is needed and both candidates have their pros and cons. In a way, its sad that their are about 10 candidates and we only hear about two. But thats another discussion.

Just get out and vote because it does matter! I voted for the first time and feel great and proud to be an American about it. Whoever will win, I hope they can lead this country like we need/want them to.

I’ll end this post with a song and video by the Flobots. We saw them Sunday night and are an interesting mix of music/vocals. Their song ‘Rise’ is very election worthy.
