The Governor and me. Yes GOvernor Richardson, NM, promo Obama
I got a call from my swim buddy to let me know my Picture was in the paper (wonder if I made TV news?) the Santa Fe New Mexican, go to Sept 16th to the photo gallery to see, the link: SantaFeNewMexican.com that’s the simple part of the story. Our “southside center” is finally open, a much longer story, in an efort to rally and secure the Hispanic vote. SO OBAMA, is finally waking up. Remember the primaries? DA!
I went because a friend wanted to, not realizing that there was going to be a nearby center. Yes, now when i get free time, I will show up to work. There are less than 50 days left to the campaign.
Having my picture, indirectly, with the GOvenor is cool. Everyone will tease me about it.
However, the GOvenor was moving forth with his speech, and not saying one thing about women. See even he does not “get” that the woman’s vote, and womens issues really count in this election. Ditto, the MAN, Obama. They gloss over it at best. Richardson, only made a comment after I spoke loudly, “What about WOMEN?”
That was the high point of that talk, everyone laughed, or said, “Yeah, what about women!” Since the big boys of ALL colors (races) continue to ignore us, especially if you are a white haired woman (Richardson and I are contemporaries), then please, ….
TELL ALL YOUR women friends, that despite their tunnel vision, and on-going Chauvinism, to gather up our power, and vote. Of course, I’d prefer you to vote for Obama, however women show those guys who will make the real difference. I speak to women of all races. I also invite all women to make their voice really heard after the election as well. Don’t let them pretend that our ideas, and votes don’t matter. Hey drag along your guy friends too to the polls.
Old news, but seldom are deeper issues addressed or talked more about. The point really is without the women’s (of all ages) vote, Obama WON’T win.
