Super Tuesday....

This Tuesday I had the opportunity to serve my community,by helping in the voting polls. It was a long long day because ojitos' car broke down and he had to take me earlier than i was suppose to be there. i was suppose to be there at 6 am and he dropped me off at 4:55 am. i had to be out there sitting down all by myself in the cold hesperia morning. the only thing keeping me warm was a corn bag that i took with me. as i was sitting there all by myself looking all around for any danger, i started thinking about the homeless people " how do they do it to survive during winter time?" i was so cold i could feel it all over my bones.the good thing is i only had to stay there for 45 mins, but it seemed forever. when the people arrived they still didn't open up the room we were going to use. they finally opened it a little bit after 6 am. we started setting up, waiting for the polls to be opened at seven. i really liked the experience and i'm thinking about going back again. the only thing that got me was a few rude people.That were register as republicans but wanted to vote as democrats.I would tell them that they couldn't do that and they would get a little angry and start raising their voice at me. for the most part, there was alot of nice people, i really liked saying " hi, how are you? can i have your name......thank you for voting.....have a nice day". they say that theres gonna be another voting for state in june or july and i think i'm gonna be going. even though my body hurt so bad the next day. i learned alot of things that i didn't know. i didn't know that there were other parties, i only thought that it was democrat and republican .....oh and american independent ....but thats another long story....ask me about it when you see me...

sorry you had to sit out in the cold, but yeah how do some of these unfortunate people do it. Even think about people who don't have heat in their homes-wow!

I'm glad you enjoyed this wonderful process. You know sometimes we take for granted our voting process. We are blessed that in this country our vote does count.
