VOTE - YOUR VOICE COUNTS

Well folks it's that time again, the Presidential elections are today.

There is no better moment than to exercise your right to vote.

Ladies listen up, this means you.

In 1920 the Constitution was amended to give women the right to vote.

Women play many roles in this country and are key decision makers.

Let's take action and make sure the voices of women are heard today at the polls.

Mabel F. Yee, founder of Engageher.org, poses the following questions:

Where are the women voters in this election?

How come no one ever hears about the Asian American women and other women of color who happen to number over 30 million registered voters in the United States today?

Mabel says, "Perhaps it's the startling revelation that in the 2004 elections 70 percent of Asian Americans, 69 percent of Latinas and 40 percent of African American registered women voters FAILED to vote."

She cited three distinct areas of why women of color haven't gone to the polls in the past: cultural, social and political.

Engageher.org is an online organization focused on educating and activating minorities, women and communities to mobilize around issues which impact their lives and communities. This organization encourages people to take action and create change.

There is no better moment than this one to exercise your constitutional right.

As I like to say, "Use it or lose it."

Elevate your voice and women by voting.
