Determination Personified...That's My Girl

 

My daughter has always been a force to be reckoned with, ever since she busted her way out of my stomach and into this world at barely four pounds and almost two months early.

She was a living doll. She didn't say ten words her first few years, but once she found her voice has used it for the greater good and doesn't mind turning the volume up when needed or necessary. 

She's a huge believer in equality and inclusiveness. She doesn't have a mean bone in her body and her heart is bigger than big, almost to the point of exploding. She spends more of her money on other people than she does on herself... on a regular basis, and is always without strings or expectations.

                                   Simply said, Massey's a good person with a heart of gold.

I'm not sure there wasn't a baby swap at birth, although I was knocked out when they sliced my stomach open and took the little booger out of me but she's a keeper and hopefully we've reached the statute of limitations if there were a mistake. 

I have drilled into all my kids' heads since they were little the importance of voting. Every.Single.Time.

It's the only way (in my humble opinion) to change things. It's the only way to get absolutely anything done. Deep pockets and the greedy one percent of this country/corporation and conglomerates have held us hostage for too long...while they all laugh at us all the way to the bank.

I don't care what party you are affiliated with (kinda a stretch at this particular point) but if every SINGLE REGISTERED VOTER voted every single time, can you even imagine how it could change our course? And what about how many people who are eligible to vote but don't register to do so?

We, as a nation have to be smarter than this and smarter than them.

I applaud Massey for her efforts. It wasn't easy, it took a couple of dedicated weeks and literally hours and hours and hours of her time. Of course my friends kicked in to help her when she realized how much postage for 600 postcards would take. It was a lot. Not kidding.

I don't care who you are voting for (well I do care but is also absolutely none of my business) but above all importance is the actual casting of a ballot. How can you not choose or care about casting a vote if you are eligible to do so? 

It's literally the foundation of our country.

Kudos to you, Massey Cotton. This world is so much better with you in it. You make me proud every day.

You were so tiny back then. I never expected how huge of an impact you would make. Rock on Sis!!
