Women and Voting

I will be walking to my local polling station Tuesday after the daily walk to school. I'm so excited that I get to vote. When my little girl come of voting age I will tell her the struggles of the women of this country and the honor afforded us by the women leaders of the past.

After I get my I VOTED sticker then it's off to the cafe for a little petit- dejeuner ,coffee the Internet and chatting about this great country.

It wasn’t until 1920 that women were granted suffrage, but it was 1917 when members of the National Women’s Party — Alice Paul Lucy Burns and others — picketed outside the White House, burning copies of Woodrow Wilson’s speeches and demanding the right to vote. What resulted — mass arrests (most for "obstructing traffic"), unlawful imprisonment and bloody beatings — became known as the Night of Terror, though it’s fair to say most among this generation don’t know it.

Know matter what  your voting is a right of the freedoms Americans are use to. Don't give away your freedoms, fight for them with your educated vote
