Take Our Daughters To The Polls!

I have been trying really hard not to get "political" on my blog because it could quickly turn from a health blog to a political blog.

There is nothing at all wrong with a political blog. However, I try to stay focused on the health issues I write about.

In light of the fact that Election Day is right around the corner and because some readers here do have daughters, I decided I'd post this clip to encourage readers to take their daughters (or maybe take a relative like a niece) with them when they vote. By setting an example for young girls, the adults in their lives can demonstrate the importance of everyone's voices being heard.

With healthcare being a very important issue this election year and with chronically ill patients being so severely impacted by the problems with the healthcare system in the U.S. at this time, voting is more important than ever this election.

So, let's get out the vote AND let's teach our younger loved ones how important it is to vote!

Women didn't always have the right to vote in this country. It's important for young girls today to be informed about women's suffrage and to understand how hard women AND men fought for women to have the right to vote in this country.

I had the privilege of visiting the National Women's Hall of Fame in Seneca Falls, NY several months ago. I learned quite a bit about women's suffrage by visiting the Hall of Fame. It is important not to take our right to vote for granted!



Thank you to Tracee Sioux for sharing yet another great video clip with me.
