GOTV Today, I am Going out to Vote!

Today, I get to choose. Any guesses who? Well here's a hint (besides my screen name and the fact I am posting on this site). It isn't going to be who Debbie wants me to vote for. It isn't going to be who Wall Street, Big Pharma, Big Banks, or Corporate America wants me to vote for either. It isn't going to be for anybody anointed by the press. It won't be because some super delegate has endorsed a candidate either. It won't even be because this person has always had a D next to their name. And it sure as hell won't be because I am afraid of a terrorist, immigrant, person of color or anybodies sexual preference. It will not be because of any noise on Twitter or any other unmentionable place.

Today, I choose Bernie. Today is going to be one of the best votes I have cast in 40 years. Today I vote for a man who represents me and my family and you and your families. My vote today is going to move Arizona from red or Purple to fucking Blue, but only if the remaining State Primary voters turn out and refuse to listen to all of the crap I mentioned above. I will have my camera with me. I will watch for any funny business. Hell if Bill shows up, I will be the first one to tell him to get the heck out of my polling place. If any candidate or proponent of any candidate crosses that line, I will do the same thing. I will have my ID, yes we are one of those States.

In addition, I will have an opportunity to send a message to a Super delegate running for Senate and while she will surely be the nominee, I will vote for a guy I know personally who is running because I know that his politics run closer to Bernie than hers. This vote is probably symbolic, but I will be honored to cast a vote for Leonard too.

Arizona, Utah and Idaho today, we stand together and vote. Let's vote for our families, not the banks.

GOTV!
