there's no such thing as not voting.

Nobody will ever deprive the American people 

of the right to vote except the American people 

themselves and the only way they could do this is by not voting. 

Franklin D. Roosevelt

Girls, voting has never been as important as it is right now!

Seize your right, voice your beliefs and vote!!

love, mom
