My kids are voting for the first time today.

...and they are fired up! They are both in college in NYC and they are taking a train all the way to New Jersey to vote with me...and then they have to turn around and go home tonight. They'll be on a train for about four hours today. They are more than happy to do it to get rid of * ! :)

5. I have 3 voting age Kids

Two of them I will go with to the polls today along with my mother & a friend. My youngest daughter will be voting where she goes to college. My husband voted Kerry absentee because of his job. This is the first presidential election for all three of my kids and my friend who is 47 is voting for the very first time. My family guarentees 8 Kerry votes for sure.

7. My daughters voted for the 1st time this morning!!!!

They were #s 1 and 2 in line at 6:00, and PROUDLY cast their votes for the next President of the United States, the honorable John Kerry!!!

They were ESPECIALLY proud of casting votes for America's ONLY African-American in the Senate, Barack Obama!!!

9. isn't it great?

My two nephews are voting for the first time this year, both big Kerry supporters - as are their friends. Thank god for the next generation - we're not doing a very good job with the world we're leaving them.
