Did you vote?

Did you vote today? I'd like you to consider the idea of voting with me. Not just on election day, but how it is that we all have a vote every day, don't we? We vote every day with our money and with our time. How serious do you take this responsibility? We vote when we cut someone off on the freeway. We vote when we allow someone to merge in front of us. We vote when we make time for our children, just like we vote when we make something more important. We vote when we pass by a stranger on the side of a road, just like we vote when we decide to stop for that person.

Certainly we all hold an enormous amount of power with our right to vote as citizens of this country, but we also hold an enormous amount of power with our capacity to vote with our dollars. What we spend our money on is a vote for a company and the products that they offer. What we don't spend our money on is a vote against a company and the products that they offer. We allow businesses to stay in business and go out of business with our voting dollars. We vote when we buy products made in this country and when we don't. This allows jobs to exist or not.

We vote everyday in ways big and in ways small. How are you using your votes every day? What are you voting for, and are you making your votes count? Until next time...
