At this pivotal point in our political history, we should all vote and get everyone else to do the same. For the time we spend on brain candy (App games, social media, waterskiing squirrel videos), how can we as Georgians not take 15 minutes to vote.
People fought hard to keep some of us from voting and I can’t honor my ancestors by blowing off voting but I can sit in a high school football game for hours. Really?
We spent the last year talking about social justice—no justice no peace. Well, voting selects the local, state and federal leaders who make policies regarding those matters. This blog calls it “the Squeaky Wheel gets the grease.”
After voting in Georgia, we should take a picture pointing at our peach sticker…put that on facebook and the gram. Georgia is like a peach—it can be sweet and nourishing if ripe…it can be rotten at times. If you get at the peach wrong, you could break a tooth on it’s core. The seed at the core could provide the start of a tree which feeds many.
In the Fort Valley area, they use to plan the school year around the peach harvest. Of course, kids who looked like me didn’t need much education because the fields or the kitchen was to be their only work options for life. Voting, blood, sweat and tears changed that for the better. Vote early and take Ray Ray with you.
I voted within the first hour I could..like that adds emphasis or something. I still think state law requiring i.d. feels like being in a Soweto township in South Africa. So, I produce my “papers” in the form of my passport just to be uppity.
