Tough Times Require Informed Choices and Actions
How many of us put a little too much emphasis on our careers and personal responsibilities? Consequently, we feel there isn’t enough time to get involved in our communities. If ever there was a time for women to shift some of that personal and work energy, it is now.
One of the candidates up for election is a woman, a wife, a mother – a working professional like you. Naturally we’d want to support such a candidate. But given her conservative views, is she the right woman to represent women now, let alone during these tough times? We and are predecessors have struggled very hard to get a voice for women in the professional arena and the respect we deserve as ”equal” to our male partners. We don’t want to jeopardize that progress.
Double Take If you’re undecided on who to vote for, do your homework and become informed on the candidates and their issues. Your voice, your vote does make a difference and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Search online for the many sites that will give you nonpartisan information, such as the League of Women Voters site: http://www.smartvoter.org/, or http://www.votesmart.org/.

I feel strongly I need to interrupt some of my projects to support my chosen candidates. Next week I carpool with 150 other folks to go to Las Vegas, a swing vote state, to register voters. I also signed up to be a pollster manning a booth on November 4th. I leave my office shortly to work at my candidates’ local headquarters phoning folks to remind them to vote.
