		<description>I&#039;m here via the Hidden Treasures nominations. This is an excellent post. I wonder how many people thinking about the accountability of their vote and the fact that not voting is casting a vote in a way.</description>

		<description>Hubs always says, if you didn&#039;t vote, don&#039;t complain about the way things are!  We don&#039;t take the privilege of voting lightly, I&#039;m glad to see others who feel the same way.  :)</description>

		<description>I appreciated your article honey. I remember when you were little and I would take you in the voting booth and let you help me vote. Sometimes we even took you out of school to go vote! I wanted you to understand how important this freedom and responsibility was. Now you&#039;ll be taking little Caleb. Before long he&#039;ll be old enough to pull the lever. Well I guess that just told my age! No more levers. 
I know just what you mean about being a mom making you more convicted and aware of the state of our world. When you were born I think I questioned everything I believed all over again. It was so important to me to be sure I passed only the truth on to you. I love you honey and I&#039;m proud of who you are. You&#039;re a great mom!
love, mom</description>

		<description>I have believed for many years that the arrival of a little baby can either change the minds and hearts of its parents or deepen their convictions and sense of responsibility.  Thanks for confirming this belief.  I appreciate your sincere thoughts on the moral duty of the Christian to vote.
