We are the 99 percent, and we will be voting

On Election Day in Kendall County, we celebrated new voters.

At Boerne City Hall, we had a number of young folks who were casting their first-ever ballot. It was uplifting for us on the elections team, although perhaps embarrassing for the first-time voter when we applauded.

I remember well my first vote. It was 1972, in Decorah, Iowa. I voted for Nixon for president, and he won the greatest landslide in American presidential history. My, how politics in America have changed.
