1. I am thankful that I have the right to vote. This is our one civic duty that makes us a democracy! People in some other countries would die for this right. People in our country HAVE died so we (especially women and minorities) could have this right.
Let's hope I will still be thankful tonight after all is said and done :)

Just a little tidbit of information for you...techinically we are a Republic and not a democracy. We elect representatives who make policy decisions on our behalf. A democracy is a form of government in which the people decide policy matters directly--through town hall meetings or by voting on ballot initiatives and referendums. Just the Political Science junkie in me :)
