I've been keeping busy all day... working, walking, cleaning out my office closet... anything rather than turn on the TV ever since I voted this morning (BTW: I had to turn my Obama 2008 t-shirt inside out while I was in the polling station at Seascape Golf Club in order to be allowed to vote ) ... and as of about 8:30 PM this evening....
PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA WON ANOTHER TERM!!!!! THANK YOU GOD!!!
I've been very upset and pre-occupied... the way women have been attacked throughout this campaign cycle has been unconscionable! I was one of those women when I was young, who fought vehemently for a woman's right to choose because quite simply... there is NO one person and absolutely NO government or religious group that has the right to tell me what I can or cannot do with my body!!! No one told me to feel that way... it was and still is an innate sense of what is right and true and undeniable...
We did it!! The last Presidential election I worked very hard to register voters, in fact I was the Chair of Voter Registration for the Democratic Party of Santa Cruz County. This time I was very distracted by life and didn't participate except by writing letters and checks BUT thank God, Obama won!!!
I must say I'm soooo glad!!!
Lots more to say and I'll get to it in the next couple days...
In the mean time, LET'S CELEBRATE!!!
