I’m writing this post about the upcoming
midterm elections on November 6th, in which I’ll be voting in the
state of Tennessee. In the past I’ve been reluctant to publicly
voice my political opinions, but due to several events in my life
and in the world in the past two years, I feel very differently
about that now. I always have and always will cast my vote based on
which candidate will protect and fight for the human rights I
believe we all deserve in this country. I believe in the fight for
LGBTQ rights, and that any form of discrimination based on sexual
orientation or gender is WRONG. I believe that the systemic racism
we still see in this country towards people of color is terrifying,
sickening and prevalent. I cannot vote for someone who will not be
willing to fight for dignity for ALL Americans, no matter their
skin color, gender or who they love. Running for Senate in the
state of Tennessee is a woman named Marsha Blackburn. As much as I
have in the past and would like to continue voting for women in
office, I cannot support Marsha Blackburn. Her voting record in
Congress appalls and terrifies me. She voted against equal pay for
women. She voted against the Reauthorization of the Violence
Against Women Act, which attempts to protect women from domestic
violence, stalking, and date rape. She believes businesses have a
right to refuse service to gay couples. She also believes they
should not have the right to marry. These are not MY Tennessee
values. I will be voting for Phil Bredesen for Senate and Jim
Cooper for House of Representatives. Please, please educate
yourself on the candidates running in your state and vote based on
who most closely represents your values. For a lot of us, we may
never find a candidate or party with whom we agree 100% on every
issue, but we have to vote anyway. So many intelligent, thoughtful,
self-possessed people have turned 18 in the past two years and now
have the right and privilege to make their vote count. But first
you need to register, which is quick and easy to do. October 9th is
the LAST DAY to register to vote in the state of TN. Go to vote.org
and you can find all the info. Happy Voting!

Swift eyaletinde yarışan Cumhuriyetçi adayla ilgili olarak
"Marsha Blackburn'u destekleyemem. Kongre'deki oy geçmişi beni
korkutuyor. Kadınlara eşit maaş ve kadınlara şiddetle ilgili
yasalara karşı çıkmıştı" dedi.
