So, you know those "I voted" stickers you get after you've voted? I'm just curious, do you guys wear those? Isn't it kind of like bragging or giving a guilt trip to those who haven't voted? That's what I've always thought. Today, when the lady handed me mine, she said "here's your badge of honor." I thought about that a bit and realized that that was really true. It is a badge of honor and it's sad that those who go and do their duty as Americans have to be honored for doing such, even if that honor is just a little sticker. Well, I attached my sticker to my sweater and I hope it will remind those who see it to go vote too.

In all seriousness I am proud of you, Megan. I am so glad that you appreciate what a privilege it is to live in a country where you can vote and make a difference. Plus I know you've studied the issues and the candidates and voted intelligently. Good for you Megan!!
We were talking about the pre-existence today in my institute class, and my teacher was kind of joking that he thought us choosing sides was probably reminiscent of politics. Also, you are a nerd for wearing the sticker ha.
