The Power of Woman's Voice
Dear Readers,
Two years ago we women turned out in record numbers to vote. As a result, our votes took back Congress. It was an extraordinary and momentous change because it reflected the power of our Woman's Voice. Tomorrow many of us will vote again. Keep in mind that, come November, we women will, for the first time, be the majority of voters. We women are marching toward an election where our votes may determine who will be the next president. This election will not only be history-making because of the candidates, it will be an historical event because of us women and our commitment to empowerment through voting our Voice.
Of course, in our two Democratic candidates, we are asked to make a difficult choice. Both of our candidates are outstanding and exceptional. However, from the Woman's Voice perspective, Senator Hillary Clinton will give us a leadership based on her knowledge, experience, and expertise in government as well as her wisdom and personal commitment to us. Earlier today, I wrote the following as a comment to an essay in the "New York Times" Opinion section:
Senator Clinton is a remarkably courageous woman to take this on. Her awareness of the fact that she is the first woman, her careful preparation, and her determination to transcend the criticisms to her candidacy, both as a woman and as a Clinton, are truly heroic. I also appreciate her dedication to the formidable task of getting elected. She is, without a doubt, the most well-prepared and capable individual to run for president in many years. Her commitment to support all that she brings to serve our country at its highest level is one of her most admirable qualities. That level of commitment, in addition to her experience, knowledge, the support of her colleagues, as well as her professional success in its own right are reasons enough to elect her. Every professional woman in this country, regardless of party affiliation, has faced these same issues. Yet, Senator Clinton is the only woman to set the courage of her convictions before America’s deeply-biased public eye and steadfastly hold herself, her work, and her record before us and allow each of us to decide for ourselves. Regardless of who we choose to vote for, all of us, women in particular, should join together in praising Senator Clinton for caring so deeply about us all, our welfare, and our future.
End of comment.
I strongly urge you, my readers, to show up to vote tomorrow. It's my hope that you will be moved to demonstrate your appreciation and support and your own commitment to a change in our leadership by casting your vote for Senator Hillary Clinton.
However you choose to vote, please show up tomorrow. Let us women once again rock our government to its foundations with the power of our Woman's Voice.
And, once again, dear readers, thank you all for all the ways in which you show up for me. Your commitment to following my journey, to accompanying me on my journey, to showing me the way pierces my heart. I thank you all and, of course, my special helpers--your vigil keeps me on the path. As always, I appreciate the fact that you are here with me in this space we share together.
