Go Vote!

Oprah Winfrey spoke about voting this afternoon.  “For anybody here who has an ancestor who didn’t have the right to vote, and you are choosing not to vote — wherever you are in this state, in this country, you are dishonoring your family,” said Ms. Winfrey, who, like Ms. Abrams, is a black woman born in Mississippi. “You are disrespecting and disregarding their legacy, their suffering and their dreams when you don’t vote.”

Voting is vital in a democracy.  If you think voting is inconvenient or doesn't matter, ask Hillary Clinton or Al Gore where just a relatively small number of votes might have changed history.

I have lived through eight years of Rick Scott as the governor of Florida and after refusing to expand Medicaid as governor.  I've made it to the age where Medicare has kicked in.  I'm blessed and I've voted for Andrew Gilum who say he will work to expand Medicaid and Bill Nelson who has also promised to promised to support medicare and the ACA which Rick Scott has questioned and supported its repeal since coming to the governor's office.
