Carrie and I both went to vote having registered about 2 months ago. It felt good casting a vote. I knew ahead of time the independent I wanted to vote for were unlikely to win but I wanted to cast my vote for the people I wanted in office, not who I wanted to win or just based on fear. Happy to be able to make the choice.

The free coffee, donuts and American people have spoken! We are United Americans & “Yes We Can” make this country and world a better place. Congratulations to everyone who voted.

-Warm Regards to you, Doug & Steph

It might be a rumor but someone also mentioned free donuts at Krispy Creme too! Is this a great country or what!

Good to hear from you Hackneys and happy to know you are still plugged in to all that is happening here! Hugs and Kisses! Patty

got my vote in and I will probably start bitching tomorrow. Can bitch now because I wouldn’t be caught dead in one of the Starbucks. They can take their overpriced product and go somewhere else (not mention I don’t like coffee.)
I even refused to take one of the “I voted stickers.” In my book our tax dollars paid for that sorry piece of paper. We have higher priorities like raising Congressional pay.
How’s that?

Stephanie,

Great comment, I know it’s a fact, few scamers will be around town from coffee shop to coffee shop getting their fix on free coffee, even if they don’t vote.

What it reaaly matters is the honest people that cast their votes because we believe in a democracy. We must protect the future of our children and God willing will be an honest and decent one, “marked by moral integrity, kindness, and goodwill.”

Best wishes to you Steph & Doug

Actually, you don’t even have to “prove” you voted to get te free coffee, but it would be shameful to scam on such a generous offer, much less to not exercise the privilege so many others only wish they had. Please VOTE (even if your vote cancels mine out! ).

Ditto (no slant intended) Doug’s comments. This is the day were we get to help steer the ship – we must vote.

Don’t let your disdain for the thoughts of others, the complaints that some voting processes are broken, or the polls pointing toward a certain outcome keep you from stepping up to cast your mark.

In 1948 Harry Truman’s presidential campaign looked dead. Scorned by his own party, as a hard-nosed maverick no less, a vote for Harry looked to be a wasted vote.

However, Truman had actually connected with the common man better than the media experts and the pollsters realized. He won the election against all odds and went on to become an effective and beloved president, stepping out of the shadow of FDR.

National offices aside, many local offices and referendums will greatly affect you and your community – so make your mark there too.

And make sure you go easy on the sugar in your coffee, you don’t want to get too wound up watching the election results tonight.
