Excited to go to the polls and vote

My response after watching the Democratic National Convention, it has finally come to my attention as a 72-year-old woman who has worked with the assaulted and live with a broken body because of violence, to my relief it is our time. It’s about time!!! As women, we’re the one’s that create life, risk life to give birth and then have molded generations after generations of men, who have done what? Deny our rights legally, allow the terrorizing of our sisters, some even have violated them & legally they have held us to a lower standard. Do I sound bitter? No, I am a proud mother, woman and voter, who now has the power to help put a strong woman in charge of this nation. A woman who has this country standing up to a bully who can’t do anything about it. It is a turning point in so many ways for our gender!! Many of us will pay physically and financially because of it but we are used to that and it will not stop us because we have also raised a generation of men to stand with us. Together we will make a statement of the power of woman and justice. Yes, this is what we have been fighting for! First it was the election of a black male President for two terms and the punishment for that was Trump and he failed in his one term. Biden took him down, with a strong female VP and now she’s going to kick his butt herself. I’m so excited and proudly go to the polls today to vote. It’s only the primary election but it’s a chance to show the whisper of the roar to come. I live in a very Red state but we are a state with a majority of Women and I think we will stand together, finally. After last night, how could we not?! Sincerely,

Elann “Lennie” Moren,
