Your Voice-Your Vote

Tuesday, November 6th, 2012~An Election Day To Remember

President Barack Obama vs. Republican Mitt Romney

Never before has there been a Presidential race that we felt so intent on watching, taking note, and feeling so annoyed with. Never before have we ever felt the utter importance of our vote. Never before have we ever felt that our voice matters so much.  Never before has a race inspired us to get involved...and get involved we did! 

Incumbent Steve Brock vs. Nicholas Mayo

Metropolitan Community College Board of Governors

Nick put his name on the ballot, spoke at several public venues, won the preliminaries, and did a couple interviews. Check out his recent interview with the Omaha World Herald: http://www.omaha.com/article/20121027/NEWS/710279896/1707  Today, he did his civic duty and voted with his "number 1 fan" and "politicians wife in training" by his side. 

Together we sit.  Eating Nick's choice of a celebratory dinner-chili with oyster crackers-watching the blue and red numbers rise and listening to the commentaries of what seems like one-sided views. We also sit and watch the bottom of the screen, rejoicing with enthusiasm every time his name shows up. Yes, that is MY husbands name on ABC under Diane Sawyer.

Stay tuned for the final count and Nick's reflections on becoming a politician.
