30. Did you feel the energy in the room as you sat down with the ballot?

I did and man! It blew me away! I felt the weight of all the women who had sat in my chair and all those people around me. Hubby was there near me, voting NO right along with me.

We felt the weight of History (Herstory) on our side! Yea, Kansas! We started out as a Free State; may we forever stay a Free State!
