Oprah: If you choose not to vote, you are dishonoring your family and their legacy

[EffieBlack]

"For anybody here who has an ancestor who didn’t have the right to vote and you are choosing not to vote wherever you are in this state, in this country, you are dishonoring your family. You are disrespecting and disregarding their legacy, their suffering and their dreams when you don’t vote."

Since every single voter in America has an ancestor who did not have the right to vote, Oprah's talking to YOU.

(CSPAN usually runs the entire thing but the videos don't embed, which is why I went with the youtube one in my previous post)

6. That's a great point, Oprah.

I think of the many victims of slavery, and of Jim Crow for that matter, who would have walked through hell for the right to vote.... just to have a say in the fates of their children and grandchildren.

Oprah is entirely correct.

12. the Democratic Party wasted all their advertising money for REAL Democrats in New Mexico!

The radio advertisement says "vote Democrat from top to bottom," implying vote for no one, who is not a Democrat. What the Hell else would a Democrat voter do? btw, K&R
