It's okay if you want to call me a Boomer. I've paid my dues.

32. I, too, am a boomer! When I was 21 (in 1972) I voted for the first time for McGovern.

I have voted in every election since turning 21. Before I could vote I - began paying into social security & Medicare; I worked to get out the vote for Democratic candidates; I worked in the anti-war/anti-draft movement. My wife (same age as I) has also voted in every election since she turned 21. Our daughters have voted in every election since they turned 18 and they too have worked to support liberal candidates & causes. The values that my parents and my wife's parents taught us have been passed down the generations.

My father in law saw first hand what happens when the values of a liberal democracy are lost. He participated in the liberation of Dachau. His testimony and photos are on record at the Holocaust Museum in Washington, DC. We must never let the forces of a fascist tyranny win!
