George Washington became the first President of the United States in 1789. He not only won the popular vote of the people but he also won the majority vote in the electorate. The second runner up in the electoral vote was named Vice President who at this first election was John Adams. The United State of America, with its Constitution and its promise of freedom began that fateful day.

Even though women were allowed to vote in some states such as New Jersey from 1776 to 1807, they were limited to which local elections they could participate in and vote. Kentucky began allowing women to vote in 1838 but their vote was limited to school board elections. There were other states that allowed women to vote but with stringent rules and regulations. It was on August 26th, 1920 that women won their constitutional right to vote in all local and national elections. The struggle to be afforded the right to vote took 72 years. The organized movement began in 1848 and even though at times these women were demonized and harassed they persevered.

Elections will soon be here on November 2nd 2010. This election is being called the most important election in our history. This election will determine the direction this country will take. On one side you have the democrats or left wing party. They believe that the Constitution of the United States is a "living document" that can be altered and changed as the politicians deem fit. Then you have the republicans or right wing party that feel the constitution is the basis that this country was founded on and what makes this country of ours great. A third party that may be influential in the outcome of this year's election is the Tea Party. They believe that the freedoms of the constitution should not be tampered with, they believe in less federal government and less taxes. They are not republican or democrat, they are Americans who believe in their country, in their laws and in the basic foundation set forth by the founding fathers.

All Americans who are eligible to vote need to do so in this election. Its your constitutional right and a civil obligation. Let your voice be heard. Whatever party you may be affiliated with doesn't matter, voting for America is what counts.

America is made up people of different colors and people of different faiths but what we have in common is that we all are Americans with equal rights. Celebrate your freedom and liberty visit Mall4Men where they have patriotic themed jewelry and civilian jewelry for men and women.
