I voted, did you?

This past Saturday, I drove to Boone, NC (13 hours total) to cast my vote for John McCain and Sarah Palin. As many of you know, I am a die-hard Republican. I grew up writing letters to President George H. W. Bush while my young classmates were writing to cute boys across the classroom. My three goldfish when I was little were names George, Barbara, and Millie. I have a cardboard cutout of "Dubya" in my house.... I can thank my amazing Pap for teaching me about what Republicans stand for and later embracing me when I decided that I too was destined to become a Republican. I have had the opportunity to meet President Bush twice, the first as my Pap and I sat on stage with him at a rally in 2000 and a second time when I worked for the White House Press Corps in 2003. I have worked as a community liaison with Governor Ernie Fletcher in Kentucky in 2003-2007, the Bush/Cheney campaign in New Hampshire in 2004 and for 15 candidates in North Carolina in 2006. I was active on my college campus and acted as president of the College Republicans for 2 years and became the youngest Republican Women's Club president in my county in NC. All in all, I am a Republican and proud of it.
I have followed this election more closely than others because there IS so much at stake. I'll leave it at that... just go vote. :-)
