I just did the most important thing I will do all year.
The most important thing I have done since November 8th, 2016.
The most important thing I have done in a lifetime of political participation.
I completed my absentee ballot and took it to the County Clerk's office, where I turned it in. My partner was with me, turning in a completed absentee ballot.
We were not the only ones. There was a steady trickle... two people just leaving, a lady coming up the walkway toward us as we left, another man getting out of a car with a ballot envelope in his hand as we drove out of the county building parking lot.
And what came to mind was a book read to me when I was very small. See if you recognize the excerpt:
"'This,' said the Mayor, 'is your town's darkest hour!
The time for all Whos who have blood that is red
to come to the aid of their country!' he said.
'We've GOT to make noises in greater amounts!
So open your mouth, lad! Every voice counts!'"
If you haven't done it yet, do it. Help someone else do it. Every voice counts.
Because a person's a person... no matter how small.
proudly,
Bright
