DUers, how are you commemorating this election for your children? |
|
I am taking my daughter with me to vote but what can I save for her that she can show her children one day as a piece of history? Any ideas?

I have my stuff from the convention in Denver, got buttons and bumper stickers for both Hillary and Obama plus will get some yard signs after Tuesday. I will definitely save the front page from the paper on Wednesday.

3. I have lots of memorabilia that my mom put away |

for me from JFK and LBJ ... I would encourage you to do the same. It has meant a lot to me over the years. :)

9. Only my youngest, aged 20, is still here with me, but we went to SEE OBAMA! |
|
We waited for seven hours and were within 20 feet of the man when he made his speech. You should have seen my daughter's face! ;-)

10. Meeting today with 2 grown sons to go over ballot together, before delivering them to Elections. |
|
We live in Oregon, where we vote by mail, but it's too late to mail them, so I'll be hand delivering them tomorrow.
I love that we're doing this, because I know they'll always remember this election in years to come.
