Weekend Vote Music


We were moved hearing Oprah Winfey's account yesterday of the father of Rev. Otis Moss, Jr., walking 18 miles over the course of a day, dressed up in his only suit, shunted from one polling place to another in a vain attempt to exercise his right to vote by the white racist precursors to vote suppressing Georgia Republican gubernatorial candidate Brian Kemp.

How far would each of us walk to the polls in this, the most important mid- term election in our lives, if not in the history of our country?  How much effort is it worth to put an obstacle in the way of Trump and his Republican Party?

Here are The Proclaimers with a little walking/ driving/ busing to the polls music to get your feet in gear.
