What an Election day! I got up early and ran (literally) to our voting spot and still had to wait an hour. I was home a little after 7 am then John headed over. He also had about an hour wait. So we were both finished by 8:15 am. Sophie also was able to vote for the president today at school and I wasn't surprised when she told me that she voted for McCain. It's amazing how she follows our conversations. We're keeping our fingers crossed for the McCain/Palin ticket!
Check out the picture of Sophie above. She made that flag, on her own a few weeks ago and I thought it was pretty cool so I took a picture of her with it.
I included some quotes below so that I can easily find them in the future. Our founding father knew best even way back then. I hope we make the best choice today!
THINK ABOUT THIS AND VOTE
"During this political season let's be reminded of these wise words. You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down.
You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred. You cannot build character and courage by taking away people's initiative and independence. You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves."
Abraham Lincoln
"Democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not."
Thomas Jefferson
"Government is like fire, a handy servant but a dangerous monster"
George Washington
"When the people fear the government, there is tyranny,
When the government fears the people, there is Liberty!"
Thomas Jefferson
"It is the first responsibility of every citizen to question authority"
Benjamin Franklin
"The strongest reason for the people to keep and bear arms is,
As a last resort to protect themselves against tyranny in government"
Thomas Jefferson
"Freedom is a fragile thing, and is never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by inheritance, it must be defended constantly by each generation for it comes only once to a people. Those who have known freedom and then lost it, have never known it again."
Ronald Regan
