Voting is your power

Have you ever been bullied? Have you ever been shamed because of your body size or shape? Have you ever been cursed at or struck by your father or mother? Have you ever been laughed at or jeered at because you have a physical or mental disability? Have you ever been told you could not do something or be somewhere because you are a woman, Hispanic, African American, Native American, Muslim, Sikh or Buddhist? Have you been singled out as an LGBT and been afraid?

Most all of us fall into these and other categories that bullies put people into. On Election Day, you can finally stand up and get even in private when you fill out your ballots and vote against Donald Trump and his supporter Cathy Morris Rodgers. Your vote is your power. Now use it.
