I Voted.

Yes, I did.
And I'm proud of it.
We should all vote.
Our voices matter.
If no one speaks up,
who will?
One of my professors told us that if we don't vote, we don't have the right to complain.
He also told us about what the suffragettes went through to give women the right to vote.
Some were thrown into prison and treated beyond terrible.
I didn't want to let them down.
I'm proud to be an
American
Woman
that
GETS
to
VOTE.

Plus, who could pass up this sweet sticker?!

**Check out an excerpt from Iron-Jawed Angels here. It's a movie about some of the events that led to the passing of the 19th Amendment: Women's Right to Vote. Although it was shown on TV, this movie has some violent and disturbing images, viewer discretion is advised.
