I’ll be traveling in Pennsylvania on November 2 so I spent the first hour of my morning carefully reviewing my Official California Voter Information Guide and completing my Official Vote by Mail Ballot.
And what I noticed is that while I looooove black and white when it comes to fashion, none of the propositions on the California ballot were black and white at all!
We’re voting this year on quite complicated proposals on legalizing marijuana, redistricting, suspending our very progressive air pollution control law and changing the voting requirements to pass our state budgets.
It’s easy to start reading the pages and pages of arguments and want to bury your head in the sand. In fact, you might find anything on your to-do list much more appealing! But I think it’s so important that we all take a few minutes to give careful deliberation to how we’ll cast our votes this election season.
Regardless of which candidates you support, there are also plenty of propositions and initiatives on ballots nationwide that can have a far-reaching impact on millions of lives in the next few years.
And I strongly believe that if Americans can carve out an hour a day to watch Oprah or to reach the next highest level on a favorite video game, then we can all find an hour to spend carefully considering our votes in the upcoming election.
Certainly many issues we’re asked to decide won’t necessarily be black or white. But it’s still our responsibility to do our homework and choose a side.
Then you can reward yourself for performing your civic duty with a black-and-white find like today’s VPOD.
Regardless of your political affiliation, this vintage 1960s floral print jacket will pair well with so many items in your closet.
It’s a very non-partisan, stylish find for a vintage fashionista!
Available at LA Vintage.
