Can the unmarried change the outcome of the election?

If you live in one of the 24 states that will be part of Super Tuesday tomorrow, I urge you to make your quirkyalone vote count!
When politicians think about courting voters, they don’t talk about us. They speak only about family values and working families. But families aren’t always traditional. As the spot-on Alternatives to Marriage Project puts it:
“Why does getting married determine your access to health care, your income taxes, your social security or pension? Because politicians don’t think they work for singles, unmarried partners or “non-traditional” families. Why do they ignore and disrespect us? Because we let them off the hook when we don’t vote!”
This year, we’re all voting!
Here’s a cool article from the San Francisco Chronicle on the power of the single vote:
“No rings, 53 million strong: Unmarried women could change election”
If you can vote tomorrow, I urge you to get out there and do it!
In other news, stay tuned for International Quirkyalone Day party updates, and for a facelift on quirkyalone.net–coming soon, later this week!
Yours in quirkyalone solidarity,
Sasha Cagen
