“Wow, okay, wow, um, okay. Well, alright. It’s just been–I just want to say to the fans, you have been so nice to me, and fun, and you’re so funny, and you’re so cool, and so loyal, and I am so - it’s not lost on me, I understand how lucky I am to have anyone that cares about me, or my music. And wow, okay, I just: every time that you have ever made me lucky enough to get to stand on a stage and have something really sparkly in my hands and say thank you, every single time that this happens, it means something differently to me. It means something different, it represents something different, and this time I just want you to know that it represents encouragement and motivation for me to be better, work harder, and try to make you guys proud as much as I possibly can. So thank you for this incredible symbol of encouragement, thank you for this. And I just want to make a mention of the fact that this award, and every single award given out tonight, were voted on by the people. And you know what else was voted on by the people? It’s the midterm elections on November 6th, get out and vote, I love you guys.”

I’m writing this post about the upcoming midterm elections on November 6th, in which I’ll be voting in the state of Tennessee. In the past I’ve been reluctant to publicly voice my political opinions, but due to several events in my life and in the world in the past two years, I feel very differently about that now.  I always have and always will cast my vote based on which candidate will protect and fight for the human rights I believe we all deserve in this country. I believe in the fight for LGBTQ rights, and that any form of discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender is WRONG. I believe that the systemic racism we still see in this country towards people of color is terrifying, sickening and prevalent.

I cannot vote for someone who will not be willing to fight for dignity for ALL Americans, no matter their skin color, gender or who they love.  Running for Senate in the state of Tennessee is a woman named Marsha Blackburn. As much as I have in the past and would like to continue voting for women in office, I cannot support Marsha Blackburn. Her voting record in Congress appalls and terrifies me. She voted against equal pay for women. She voted against the Reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act, which attempts to protect women from domestic violence, stalking, and date rape. She believes businesses have a right to refuse service to gay couples. She also believes they should not have the right to marry. These are not MY Tennessee values. I will be voting for Phil Bredesen for Senate and Jim Cooper for House of Representatives.  Please, please educate yourself on the candidates running in your state and vote based on who most closely represents your values. For a lot of us, we may never find a candidate or party with whom we agree 100% on every issue, but we have to vote anyway.

So many intelligent, thoughtful, self-possessed people have turned 18 in the past two years and now have the right and privilege to make their vote count. But first you need to register, which is quick and easy to do. October 9th is the LAST DAY to register to vote in the state of TN. Go to vote.org and you can find all the info. Happy Voting! 🗳😃🌈
