We can change the world...
For the first time in my life, I voted in an election that actually mattered. Today I cast my ballot in the NC primary, in a closely contested democratic race. After growing up in Nebraska...Go Big Red isn't reserved for just football...and moving to the bible belt, I have never felt like my voice really counted (nevermind the fact that in a couple of elections, it literally might not have counted).
