Who Will You Vote For?

Friday, August 27, 2010






The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.

Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.



I missed it by a few days, but August 18th was the 90th Anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment, the amendment which gave women the right to vote. And, okay, no, not every women sees fit to exercise her right but, then again, nor does every man. 


So let's just say that, in today's world, the 19th Amendment granted women the right to *not* vote.


My dear historic sisters, I have such respect for you.
