My Mother turned 76 years old today and has never voted in her life.....
But she told me today that she registered to vote and is voting for KERRY/EDWARDS!!!!!!!!!!!! She said she can't stand bu$h and wants him out.....says she can't stand to watch him or listen to him on TV and turns the channel when he comes on...LOL... HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY MOM! :party: :bounce: :party: :toast: :bounce: :bounce: :party: :beer:
but I have to say that she has never voted is VERY SAD - and actully shocking...I'm glad she is voting this time though - but when I think of what our foremothers had to do to secure the right to vote for us it makes me terribly sad to think your Mother never took advantage of this very precious right.
Shes watched all the convention and news coverage so far. Shes always voted. I told my friends..........i would get her to the polls if i have to carry her in. Thank God with the help of her walker........she can still proudly go Vote for Kerry. Suprising for her age....how she catches on to how nasty Bush is.
My Dad, 84, who just died had had a stroke but we always got an absentee ballot for him. Towards the end he could not speak too well, but when Bu$h came on he manage a clear Bastard.
Why hasn't she voted before? Was she a citizen? Of course my sister has gotten a woman who is in her early 60's to vote for the first time in 40 years (Democrat of course). She is divorced and I think many women didn't vote because their husband did. Strange.
Bless her heart, even though she is late to the party. Lost my Mom at 85 last year; her first vote was for FDR, and she was a staunch Dem to the end. Give Mom a smooch for all of us.
