Another step ...

... towards growing up!  Stacey has registered as a first time voter!  It was quite painless really - to be honest, P and I also had to register as the last time we had a general election, we did not have bar coded ID books.  We went to the little church in Tin Road and were in and out within 5 minutes!

We don't know exactly when the election will be next year, but with all the turmoil in our government at the moment, with the founding of a new party and a split in the ANC, it's even more important than ever for the minority to stick together and make our mark!
In his Gettysburg address, Abraham Lincoln said, "... Government of the people, by the people and for the people ..."  This means that government is not to be served by the people, but the people should be served by the government.  We have the right to decide - this means we have the right to vote!
And that's the end of my political banter!

Well done to Stacey! I wonder if my sister registered.
