I know we’re all getting tired of the political song and dance, but here’s one more for you. (See? I’m keeping it light here, people.)
The majority of my readers are American women, like me. Vote, ladies. Our daughters’ daughters will adore us.

November 6, 2012 at 8:56 amIt’s your blog and all, and you really could have let loose with a whole bunch of “vote MY way!” but you didn’t, and I am one reader that really appreciates this gentle approach. What’s most important is that we all go out and VOTE — thank you for reminding your readership. And for keeping it light! :)

November 6, 2012 at 12:17 pmVery cute!!! I love this movie.
Andrea
November 6, 2012 at 12:41 pmLoved it! I’ve so very ready for the election to be over. It can definitely bring out the worst in some people online, ugh. But my 10yo told me yesterday they had a mock-election at school. He cast his vote thinking of me and his two sisters – love that kid!
Catherine
November 6, 2012 at 1:25 pmThank you for the great reminder! I always think of this song when it comes to voting. :) And a great movie about the suffrage movement is “Iron-Jawed Angels.”

November 6, 2012 at 1:43 pmJUST made my husband watch this for the first time last weekend. Ah, childhood!!

November 6, 2012 at 1:50 pmAnd though we adore men individually, we agree that as a group they’re rather stoooopid. (I love this line from that song!)
Lauren
November 6, 2012 at 2:06 pmThank you I now need to find a copy of that, I don’t think it’s in the arsenal yet. Singing in great full chorus!
Megan
November 6, 2012 at 2:38 pmI LOVE this song! I sing it (in a British accent) and my daughter marches around the living room while my husband looks at me like I’m crazy (for having this song memorized, not for voting :)!)
Alison
November 6, 2012 at 2:42 pmIron Jawed Angels is a great movie. Wasn’t too long ago (my grandmother’s youth) that women weren’t allowed to vote…so girls, go out and vote!
Nicole
November 6, 2012 at 3:22 pmGood for you!!!! I also voted. And I totally agree with you — WHO you vote for is not the point…. the fact that you voted is important! :) BTW, LOVE that clip and love that movie!!!!

amy good house
November 6, 2012 at 6:23 pmThe other day a male friend was insisting that voting doesn’t matter and I made the point to him that both of my grandmothers were born in the United States BEFORE women had the right to vote. Totally forgot about this song!
Meghan
November 6, 2012 at 7:11 pmOddly enough I find myself singing or humming this quite often. Great song, great reference.

November 7, 2012 at 8:56 amNot only American women, there’s one non American too, who’s secretly admiring you from a distance of few thousands miles.
Kisses!

November 7, 2012 at 10:09 pmOne of my favorite movies! Tho I must confess, the whole suffragette thing always confused me as a kid. I think it blew my mind to imagine that women didn’t always have the right to vote.
