Postei o texto abaixo hoje cedo no blog "Political Voices of Women Community". Agora a pouco a editora do blog puxou o meu post para a capa. Aí do lado, onde está o selo da comunidade, vocês podem acessar o blog e a minha página.

"A lot of things catch my attention these days of general elections. It is an interesting time for the United States and for its image throughout the world. As there are two very different candidates for the most important office in the country, the first black man running to be the commander in chief and a woman for VP, one thought keeps coming back into my mind all the time. How do we really vote?

In conversations I hear people saying that it would be inadmissible for a black person not to vote for senator Barack Obama. Is that for real?

So, because the Republican Party has a woman on their ticket, does that mean we woman, no matter from each party, should vote for her party because she is also a woman?

How do we really vote? What is important to us as citizens? Women have always played an important role in politics, even if sometimes we were not aware of it. Women are the strength of every single society every where in the globe. There are more women in the work force than ever. Woman are making more money and are the heads of their families and are supporting many, many men.

What are we going to do in this coming up elections? How are we going to vote? Does color of skin and gender matter? Is that what defines a human being? Does it tell about a person character? Does it tell if they are best qualified to be the next President? What do you think?"
