People have been outside the metro stop pretty much every day this summer trying to get us to register to vote. I kept telling them I'd do it online, I didn't have time right now, etc. Even though they assured me it would "only take 60 seconds, AND we'll send it in for you." I finally succumbed to this cute old man. He seemed surprised when I told him I hadn't registered yet and I'd actually like to fill out the paper right now. He asked me if I was 18. I said yes, I voted in the last presidential election. And then when I told Tom to come over and register, too, the same cute old man asked Tom if he was an American citizen. I'm not sure what nationality Tom might look like..? But I guess not American. It took us a little more than 60 seconds to fill out the papers, but not much. Now we're registered to vote in the Commonwealth of Virginia, where I'm hoping my vote might make a difference.
Moral of my post: If you haven't registered to vote yet, go get 'er done because the clock's ticking!!
