I am so happy to be a Democrat. I wasn't always a Democrat. I grew up in a conservative household and voted for Reagan in my first election. But it didn't take long for me to see that Reagan and his Republican colleagues didn't care about women's rights, the environment, gay rights, or fairness to aspire to bigger things. They cared about business and tax cuts. Over the years, I have become more and more liberal as I see Repbulicans cutting taxes while crying about the debt, taking away a woman's right to choose while strapping her with more difficulty to make a living, tearing up the environment so a few industries can make millions or billions, making it more difficult for people to declare bankruptcy while making it easier for businesses to take advantage of consumers. I've watched as people lose health care and jobs and houses while businesses combine into bigger and bigger monopolies. The list goes on.
Democrats aren't perfect. But they offer solutions for people like me. I'm voting Democrat in the coming midterms. And I'm volunteering to get as many people to request absentee ballots as possible.
Please, register to vote and request your absentee ballot.
