Hi everyone, Katie here.
Today comes but once every four years here in the US. Glogirly takes a walk to the local elementary school, looks at the construction paper cutouts of kids' hands on the wall, and the tiny little classroom chairs. She waits in line with friends, neighbors, and strangers to check the little boxes. She's thankful for living in this great country and prays those little boxes make a difference.
"Nobody will ever deprive the American people of the right to vote except the American people themselves and the only way they could do this is by not voting."
_________________________________________________________________________________
Those of you who are kind enough to come and visit me day after day know there's another VOTE going on. For the past two weeks, Glogirly's been asking total strangers to vote for our video, "Katie Is...ACCUSED." Out of LOTS and LOTS of total strangers, only one grumpy elevator man looked at her like she was nuts. Everyone else- the grocery store guy, the post office lady, the car repair guy, the cashier at Target, even the Delta Airlines check in agent (and they're almost ALWAYS grumpy) were happy to help. They all promised to watch and vote. They all smiled big and wished us luck.
So as your human is standing in line to cast their vote in the presidential election, how about they ask just one person to watch and vote for Katie. All they need to remember is TheFriskies.com and Katie Is...Accused. Click HERE for a small reminder card you can print! This is just the kind of thing that can turn strangers into friends.
My human and her boyfriend are walking down to the polling place together - it is kind of a tradition. Also, it's her way of making sure he doesn't slack off. ;)
ReplyDeleteWe are not voting today , here in Sweden it´s election in 2014 :)
ReplyDeleteMy humans think´s you have a strange way to count votes in the States.
Here in Sweden one vote is one vote and it doesn´t matter wich part in the country you live in.
Our American friends, go out and be counted! :)
ReplyDeleteOur human will vote after work. There's a huge ballot this year, and we are a little worried she might be late with our dinner. So this voting thing must be pretty important, if it makes make dinner late.
ReplyDeleteDad and Mom will be headed out to vote in just a bit. Me? I'll vote for you any day!
ReplyDeleteSo I am understanding this correct! It's a choice between an elephant and a donkey? So where's the cat option? Just saying ;)
ReplyDeleteMom Paula will go to vote within the hour. We've already voted for your video.
ReplyDeleteWe voted absentee this year, so we're done. :-)
ReplyDeleteWe're voting right after work! And we already voted for you, and told lots of people to do the same. :)
ReplyDeleteKatie darl,
ReplyDeleteConsidering that you are the undisputed Ruler of the World, would that make the President of the USA your subordinate? I heard the incumbent has a dog, not a cat. What a pity! purrr....meow!
Voted!! :D Hope you win!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the Roosevelt quote.....Mom voted!
ReplyDeleteWe are writing in "Katie."
ReplyDeleteBenny & Lily
hope todays vote goes your way
ReplyDeleteOur human got up early to put up signs and vote.
ReplyDeleteWe think the Friskies election is way more important than that silly human one that's going on.
ReplyDeleteWe are concerning your vote here as well~!!! Can't wait to see your result!
ReplyDeleteKjelle bus has the right idea. My slacker peeps voted but forgot to print out the cards to hand out. Pfffttt!
