Vote
Our second oldest daughter just turned 18 and graduated. I have been reminding her to register to vote and she keeps telling me, "I don't know who to vote for." I don't think I'll have to say another word, I'll just show her this:

I have always deeply regretted not being more educated in the political arena. Several years ago I began to realize how little I know and understand. I was raised by two die-hard Democrats and very easily made the decision to be a Republican when I started to understand the little that I do. I don't want my kids to vote Republican 'just because that's what mom and dad do'. I want them to fully understand the reasons and educate themselves fully. Then they'll be able to make wise choices, even if one day they have to cross party lines when they vote.
I think my prior decision to learn more has just been re-ignited.
