Here in Broward County, Florida, Early Voting is in full swing. What a great time this is to teach our kids – no matter what their age – about their right to vote. When my daughter was very young, I used to bring her with me to the poll and showed her how I voted. She loved getting an “I Voted Today” sticker and was proud to participate. As soon as she turned 18, she had her Voter’s ID Card and was eager to vote in her first-ever election as an adult.
As Americans, we have the right to vote, as well as the right NOT to vote. I figure that no matter who is running for office, what the current political situation is, I want to take part in making my voice heard, and I’m glad I’ve passed this responsibility on to my daughter.
