This is
our first post on our brand new blog, and we couldn't be happier. The BossBeauties are
made up of both native and naturalized Americans. We can't stress enough the
importance of voting on November 6th, 2012. Vote
with a vengeance. Vote 'til you can't vote no more. Vote it like it's hot.
STOP! Voting time! Vote like there's no tomorrow (even though there obviously
is). We don't care. Just vote!
But on a
more I'm-Every-American tip, just vote. Voting is all about one of the
most American things there are--Choices. If you like choices, then voting is
for you. If you don't, then you're just...just...un-American damnit.
Hell, even un-democratic. It's as simple as that. Yep, we said it. We live in a
country where there are soda fountain machines with over 125 possible
combinations of pop. At Wendy's, there are 256 different ways that you can order
a burger. A BURGER, FOR CRAPS SAKE! and don't get us started about Burger King,
where you can have it your way! If we can take the time to put that much
thought into food that isn't even good (let alone healthy), why can't we go
vote for the person who will be in charge of our economy? Our relations
with other countries? Our health? Women's health? (Though neither of the
candidates need to be anywhere near any of our uteri...Sidenote:
"uteri" and "uteruses" are interchangeable. So naturally,
we went for the cooler-looking version. What can we say? It has more
character. The More You Know...)
Take time
out tomorrow and make a choice that really matters. Rather than
contemplating the 67,108,864 different variations of pizza that you can order
at Domino's, take yourself to the polls and contemplate about the millions of
people that will be affected by your choice.
Remember
that if you don't, you lose the ability to complain. Voting is our civic duty.
People died so that we could vote. Rev. Al Sharpton said that "...your
right to vote is a result of the blood and tears of generations of
sacrifice." Come on. Not voting is NOT an option. Not
voting is relinquishing the right to talk. It's the ultimate form of speech in
this country. And think of it this way--if your candidate loses, you can point
the blame on the other guy; if your candidate wins, you can gloat for the next
four years as your candidate does the damn thing. Don't vote, and any
quasi-political statements or stances that you voice are irrelevant. There is
no excuse not to vote.
Also,
forget all this talk of "one vote doesn't matter." In 2000, a certain
Republican candidate won the state of Florida (and subsequently, the
presidency) by a margin of 537 votes. Every single (*blasted*) vote matters.
Just as
importantly, don't forget the Senate, House, and District races, as well as any
propositions that may be on the ballots of your home state. Visit the links
below for more information about who's running in each race, as well as links
to their campaign sites:
...Now,
excuse us while we break for dinner and hassle the servers by refusing to tip
them unless they say they're voting...Or in one of our cases, resume crying and
blubbering as the Eagles drive her blood pressure up...
May the
best candidate (And by that, let's be real...we really mean Obama) win.
