Speak up!
I don’t care what political views you subscribe to, this SNL skit of “Sarah Palin” and “Hillary Clinton” is hysterical!
These days, the universal appeal of this clip is about all my friends can agree on. Whenever we go to a dinner party or other get-together, politics invariably get thrown on the table for people to chew on – and it never ends well. We can’t seem to agree on anything and as we inch closer and closer to Election Day, there seems to less common ground. And it’s not just the parents this time around. I find that our kids are very tuned in to the issues. I don’t know if they’re just doing a better job of raising awareness in the schools, but the kids seem to have strong opinions (that they’re able to back up and defend with well defined arguments). It’s somewhat humbling to realize that this group of kids (who are not even old enough to vote) care enough to learn about the issues and articulate them to a group of adults. Makes you realize that as Americans who are eligible to vote, we really do have an obligation to do the same and vote our conscience. Regardless of who you decide to vote for – just vote! One voice does matter, don’t be left out of the discussion.
If you’re not currently residing in the state where you’re registered to vote, make sure you request your absentee ballot on time.
