A 32 year old who works at the desk next to mine said she will be voting straight democratic ticket this fall.

She has not voted in the past two presidential elections, or in the interim, but said she definitely will be voting in November.

I never bring up politics at work. She did. She was reading something about the twin towers, and said "how could they have fallen the way they did? It doesn't make sense".

so..........I proceeded to bombard her with links to various stories over the past 6 years that questioned not only that, but everything that has happened in this time frame.

She actually read them all.

One of the most important, that left a lasting impression on her was the link to the 14 aspects of fascism.

We have a brand new democratic voter.

3. Most of my
friends were registered independents because they wanted to pick the right man for the job and not the right party. 6 years later they all are now registered as democrats. I love how one can be the same.

4. Good for you for educating this young lady. Wish more 32 year
olds would start asking questions.
