I got emailed this photo from the time of Democratic Party President Woodrow Wilson this week.

It reminded me to the blue thumbed women we saw as Iraqis voted for the first time since being liberated from Saddam Hussein.

If only people in the United States valued the right the vote as these women did.

The picture pretty much says it all, but let me encourage you to register to vote if you have not done so.

If you have moved, you need to call the McHenry County Clerk’s office and ask how to change address. The phone number is 815-334-4242.

Click on the photo and you will be able to read what is on the signs better.
