Remember What it Cost


As you go to the polls tomorrow, take a moment to reflect on the brave women in this country who secured the right to vote 90 years ago. They were beaten, chained, force fed, and treated like criminals - and all this was within the law of the time. And women's suffrage is only one example of what people across the world have done to have the right to vote. There are still places where people risk beatings or death. Places where people will walk 5, 10, 20 miles to reach a polling place.

Can you believe some here choose to say "I'm just too busy"?
Exercise your right tomorrow and thank those who suffered so you can.
