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

80. Boomer proud. I began voting 50 years ago.

I have NEVER voted for a Repuke, and never will. Got my ballot and will be voting straight Democrats, with input from the Democratic voting pamphlet for the measures, and careful research on any positions where the candidate presents themselves as non-partisan. I have contributed to Social Security and Medicare since I was 16 years old. I did the best I could, but all of my jobs were low pay, with little or no benefits. I need Social Security and Medicare in order to live. My pension and 401k are not enough by themselves. Most of my generation fought for this, and social progress and environmental causes, an end to the wars, etc. We need to VOTE the Republicans OUT!!! Every last one, across the entire country! We need to hang on like a badger to its prey, to all the gains we spent our whole lives fighting for. Everything that we care about and need is at stake.
