ICalling all loyal Texans! November 6th is right around the corner, and y'all know what that means! Beto O'Rourke and Ted Cruz are going head to head in what very well may be one of the closest and craziest Senate elections in recent memory -- not just for the state, but the entire nation.
I'm not going to sit here typing and tell you who to vote for. This isn't a sponsored campaign, nor is it a self-righteous tirade against the other candidate. I am simply going to encourage all of you 18-or-older citizens to get out there and VOTE. As Americans, voting should be considered your civil duty, not something that you occasionally partake in and grumble those election years when you don't. Sure, this may not be the Super Tuesday, nor is it necessarily a complete reworking of the inner goings-on of Congress... Although, I suppose the whole country shall see by the time it's over. It is, however, something that concerns all of Texas. We're determining who will represent our state in Washington for the next six years. You'd think that would warrant at least some passion. Whether you're rooting for Beto or Ted, don't just lie back on your couch and watch the counter go up and down, cheering when your candidate is in favor or pouting when he's not. It may be cliché, but be the change you wish to see in the world. Personally, I want to be the first person in line at City Hall on the 6th, and I hope that all of you do the same. I look forward to seeing these stickers on everyone's shirt when I walk down the street. P.S. I took a rather lengthy hiatus because I had to get myself ready for college (#FangsOut!), but I am back and pumped to be blogging again!
