SINGLE WOMEN FEEL DISENFRANCHISED

Tell us something we don't already know.

According to a report from Yahoo News, women who are single (or as the article puts it, "on their own") feel alienated by the political process. They (we) feel that their (our) votes count little if at all, and therefore, many of them (us) choose not to vote.

It's a free country, of course, and people are free to either vote or not vote, as they choose.

But there are more than 21 million single women in the United States (although it often feels like each of us is alone, but that's another article for another time), who did NOT cast a vote in the last Presidential election. Can you imagine if they had all voted?

With numbers like that, we could really make an impact.

Voting is a chance for us all to participate in our government. Enough voices raised, and change will come.
