90 Years, How Quickly Meg Forgets

Hey do you vote?  Well, if you are reading this, the answer is probably yes.  And you would assume that pretty much anybody who was really interested in politics would have done so for pretty much every election.  Not so with Meg Whitman.  She's less interested in such trivial matters when she can go ahead and just plunk another $104 million into the game.  

But, some really good people fought like hell to give her that right to vote that she has chosen to cast away.  So, a few groups have banded together to remind her of said fight, on the 90th Anniversary of the 19th Amendment

Whitman's spotty voting record, of course, has been an issue in the gubernatorial campaign, and the candidate herself has called it "atrocious." But the California Nurses Association, the Courage Campaign  and a host of labor groups intend to remind voters again, insisting they'll deliver the largest and possibly most colorful anti-Whitman rally ever on the 90th anniversary of the day the 19th amendment was signed into law. ...

The 4 p.m. rally near the Capitol steps will include folks in period costumes, historical characters, newsboys and Elizabth Jenkins-Sahlin, the great great grandaughter of the women's rights pionner Elizabeth Cady Stanton,says CNA spokesman Chuck Idelson. (SFGate)

Should be fun for the whole family, don your best bonnet if you are in the neighborhood.
