Vote Today - With Your Child

Posted on November 4, 2008 by J. Benjamin Stevens

Today is election day, and it is an historic one.  Our country will either elect its first minority President or its first female Vice President.  No matter which candidate you support, I sincerely hope that you will exercise your right to vote today and that you will take your children with you when you do.  

Taking your children with you to vote provides an excellent opportunity to discuss the election process in our country, the differences between the political parties, and how lucky we are as Americans to have the right to a free, fair election.  

I am proud to say that I have voted in every primary and election since I have been of voting age, and I have taken my children with me every year since they were born.  As they get older, we have some amazing discussions about the political process.  You should take this opportunity too with your own children if you are able to do so.
