ALL FOR THE RIGHT TO VOTE.




Get out the VOTE!

[Warpy]

1. Thank you

One of my mother's earliest memories was of a Suffragette parade in NYC with my grandmother and great grandmother.

[sheshe2]

3. Love your family, Warpy.

They fought.

We Will Not Sit Down and We Sure as Hell Won't Shut Up!

[Warpy]

4. The other side were midwesterners and didn't have parades

but they did have a cross burned on their front lawn.

My folks have always known just who to piss off.

6. I vote for Women

I Vote for Women

By effectively focusing our leadership, political giving and votes -- we will push past the tipping point and finally breakthrough the status quo. With women's focused leadership at all levels of government and business, we will achieve greater economic security, opportunity and advancement, family-friendly work environments, women-owned business growth, retirement security, equal rights and human rights.

When we focus our power, we shape the world

5. I'd LOVE to see that exact picture on billboards everywhere across the US.

You can see the determination of their faces, and all women today need a reminder of the torture women endured to get them the right to vote!

[sheshe2]

18. Me too napi!

[Glassunion]

7. Not what I expected from the subject line.

However, a fantastic picture of our history, and an apt reminder how our sisters are going to carry this election.

8. Women Leading Politics and Policy

Women Leading Politics and Policy

As we come together to focus our tremendous voting clout with candidates who are supportive of our views and issues – we will breakthrough the status quo, dramatically raise our influence and incomes, put our stamp on political and world leadership and the business/employer marketplace – we will finally secure women-led progress in world leadership, human rights, fair pay and promotion, family-friendly work environments, retirement security and women-owned business growth.

This transformation will consummate women's long path to political and economic power and create a better world for all.
The women's movement is far from over. In many ways – we have just begun.

Thanks Glassunion.

9. Women are a natural ally.

We bore you.
We raised you.
We love you.

Sure, not all women, yet the majority of us is there to raise us up.

[brer cat]

10. We owe it to them.

GOTV!

[sheshe2]

11. We owe it to them.

Our moms, grand moms and great grand moms were there for us. How could they possibly leave their daughters and great grand daughters behind.

It is past time. It is our time to show the world what we are made of. I truly believe we can make a huge difference.

[brer cat]

21. There is no question

we will make a difference. It is so gratifying to me to read of the republican women coming on board. The message will be sent loud and clear, and our mothers and grandmothers and great grandmothers will be honored by a record turnout of women voters putting the first woman in the White House.

[sheshe2]

22. your lips to the Goddesses ears...

It will happen.

[AmericanActivist]

12. Kicking for all the women who fought all those decades so that I have the

Right to vote. Thanks a million! Rest In Peace.

[sheshe2]

23. Kicking your post!

For all of us. Men and women alike.

[okaawhatever]

13. Love it. Thanks sheshe nt

[sheshe2]

24. ...

[sheshe2]

17. fact...

we...

and the men that stand with us. together.

[niyad]

29. so beautiful, she. please post this in video, and wrai, so we can rec, and for visibility.

[sheshe2]

34. I posted it so many times people are probably sick of it.

However I just posted the clip of the Iron Jawed Angels and the force feeding. The song the woman sang brought tears to my eyes.

[niyad]

36. you can post them both in wrai, with my blessing.

[classof56]

19. Good one, sheshe! Big K&R from me.

I was raised in Colorado where women were given the right to vote in 1893. Not sure I truly appreciated what a progressive state I lived in at the time (kid growing up), but I sure do now. Currently live in Oregon, where I moved some 47 years ago, which gave women the right to vote in 1912, thanks to an amazing woman named Abigail Scott Duniway and a governor named Oswald West who also helped save Oregon's beaches for public use.

BTW, just filled out my ballot today. Vote By Mail--love it! Should be established nationally as far as I'm concerned. I worked for unequal pay for many, many years, finally got a position toward the end of my career that paid me the same as a man would have made, something of a break in the good ol' boy tradition. Believe me, I am totally aware of my incredible good fortune, and I have zero patience with anyone, male or female, who does not vote--but in particular, females.

Think about the price that was paid, ladies, and vote!!

Thanks, sheshe for this great reminder of how we got here!

[sheshe2]

28. Hey sweetie.

We got to early vote this year in Mass. I could not wait till election day. Voted Monday.

This is going to be epic. This ones for us. This one time this is for us.

[salin]

20. This woman (per Trump = Nasty woman) voted today.

Get out the VOTE!

[sheshe2]

25. Me ..

Nasty Woman as well. I voted Monday.

I am thrilled!

[niyad]

27. I wish some of the stations would run "iron-jawed angels"

[sheshe2]

31. Hell yes!

[calimary]

30. I am SO kicking this!

I've already made a copy of this image and I'm gonna keep it! And use it! And post it!

[sheshe2]

35. Hugs to you calimary.

This is for us.

Thank you.

[sheshe2]

50. Do you still have a copy,

My link seems to be broken. I can't see the image in my OP this morning.

[calimary]

53. Yes, I kept it. But I went to that imgur.com site and it seems to have changed a little bit.

So I'm not quite sure how to work it now. Don't want to have to subscribe.

[sheshe2]

54. It came back again.

To weird.

Thanks Calimary.

[sheshe2]

51. Weird......

The picture is showing again!

[NBachers]

32. I wish the "No more status quo" and "Vote for Change"ers would just elect more women.

More Democratic women in office would create a sustainable present and a bright future. It's time.

[sheshe2]

38. We are going to get there.

Trust me. We are on our way.

This one moved me.

Thank you so much for all your support of women, we need people like you, NBachers.

Yes, it's time.

[nolabear]

37. Makes me choke up. I'm so grateful to our foremothers.

[sheshe2]

39. Bless them for what they fought for and gave us, nolabear.

[ronnie624]

40. My heroines. n/t

[tblue37]

41. One reason why we can count on African Americans to do whatever they must to

get past the obstacles the right wingers deliberately create to suppress their vote is that they--i.e., black voters--are intensely aware of the sacrifices made to protect their right to vote. When the evil RWers try to suppress the black vote, it just reinforces their resolve, so they stand in line for hours if they have to do so in order to cast their vote because they know how important it is.

We have long been able to count on African American voters to show up for us. I hope this election will help convince women, Latinx voters, and young voters to show up and vote in every election--including midterms and state & local elections. If those groups start doing that, we will keep winning at all levels.

[IronLionZion]

42. Vote as if somebody died for your right to do so

Somebody didn't want you to have a voice.

[sheshe2]

45. Yes!

Exactly. For those that passed. We vote for them.

My 90 year old mom gets to vote for a woman.

[fleabiscuit]

[sheshe2]

44. ;)

[sheshe2]

46. Vote as if your life depends on it.

It does.

[gademocrat7]

47. Thank you, sheshe2

My grandmother was active in elections in her small town. She made sure we understood what GOTV meant.

[sheshe2]

49. We are going to do this, gademocrat.

[dlk]

48. It Took Nearly 100 Years

Too often, the commitment and sacrifices of the suffragettes are swept under the rug. We owe them much and women should exercise their right to vote every at every opportunity. Taking it for granted and not voting only legitimizes the misogynists who would repeal the 19th Amendment in a heartbeat. Even in 2016, there is a Twitter movement to "Repeal the 19th." When you think it can't happen here, that's when it usually does.

[AmericanActivist]

56. It is amazing to me that it took nearly 100 years! Imagine...

if these women - and the men who stood with them - had given up!? I am only now realizing the value and significance of the "commitment and sacrifices of the suffragettes" (well said btw) in this election where we have the first opportunity to vote for and elect the first female president. To me, it finally brings home the accomplishment of the movement for womens' right to vote; meaning this issue comes full circle.

Welcome to DU dlk

Glad to have you here

Powerful. They did the hard work. The least we can do is vote every chance we get.
