Time To Rock The Vote

Every

Hero

has

His

or

Hers

Adversary,

Antagonist,

and

Rival.

And since mine,

the notorious - "The Jeff,"

is taking time to make;

The News As We See It - "The Movie,"

I feel it is time for some motivational reasons why you need to get out there this

November

and

Vote!

Let's have a little

History Lesson

first.

Our

Founding Fathers

feared,

since there were so many

Loyalists

still hanging around the

New Country

after our

Independence

from

England

and that the average

Fellow

walking down the street wasn't

Politically Savvy

enough to know who the

Candidates

were.

Instead of giving the

Citizens

the right to vote for the

President

directly,

we as voters,

vote for

The Electoral College.

The

People

who actually do vote for the

President.

So what you say?

They have to vote the way we want them to after we cast our vote on election day?

Only 26 out of the 50 States,

under

State Law,

have made it so where

The Electoral College Voters

have to vote the way the majority in their

State

have voted.

Minnesota 

is not one of them.

In 2008,

one

Electoral College Voter

from

Minnesota

was too inebriated to remember who to vote for,

that he wrote down

Joe Biden's Name 

for

President,

plus,

he spelt it wrong.

(Source: Adam Ruins Everything - Voting.)

The second part of our little tale is,

the

Founding Fathers

didn't give everyone the right to vote either.

Only Land Owners!

Eventually,

after years of

Political Maneuvering,

all

White Males

were given the right to vote.

Then all

Black Males

were given the right to vote,

but that is when the infamous

and another dark chapter in our history occurred.

The

Jim Crow Laws

were introduced.

Once again making it almost impossible for most

Black Men

to vote.

You have all heard about the

Women's Suffragette Movement

which finally gave them the right to vote.

It took from

1905 Until 1910 

for that to come about.

That is

134 Years

after the

War of Independence!

Worst yet.

It wasn't until

President Lyndon Baines Johnson,

in the middle

1960's,

to put an end to most of those

Jim Crow Laws,

that we now have almost all

Black People

voting today.

1960's!

These changes,

though they took all long time to come about,

happened because of a

Cultural Change

in our

Society

where we finally saw the

Injustice Being Done

in our

Country.

But it took the

Vote

from the

People

who already had that

Right

to make these changes happen!

So,

you say you want a better life for your

Children?

Your

Vote

this coming

November

will have a say in their future!

This is,

Saying This Is Still The Greatest Country In The World,

Jim Hauenstein,

And,

“I declare to you that woman must not depend upon the protection of man, but must be taught to protect herself, and there I take my stand.”
- Susan B. Anthony -

“The happiest people I have known have been those who gave themselves no concern about their own souls, but did their uttermost to mitigate the miseries of others.”
- Elizabeth Cady Stanton -

 “Knowledge makes a man unfit to be a slave.”
- Frederick Douglass -

That is my story and I am sticking to it!

Continuing with my topic from Tuesday & Wednesday of this week.

I not only preach that tagging is an art form,

and that we should find the landscape for these artists to display their art,

I know one Tagger personally,

and I let him use my back yard as his canvas!
