what is most important to her, so she naturally sup-
ports the “party of the people”... .Democrats.
She is excited to vote in what she says is the
most important election of her life. She says this not
for the reasons you might think Not because she is 90
years old and this could very well be her last election...
her mother lived to be 104 (so we expect my grand-
mother vote again). And not because she finally gets to
see the first female president (a woman for whom she
has a tremendous amount of respect) win a presiden-
tial election. No.. .This is the most important election
because the stakes have never been higher. She fears
what a Trump presidency would bring on the country
she loves and the impact it would have on her 5 living
children, 17 grandchildren, 13 great grandchildren and
1 great, great grandchild.

My grandmother was raised Catholic but by
spending over forty years in California she has adapt-
ed an “open minded” and unpretentious edge you
would not expect. She is non-judging, has extreme
compassion for people of all races, gender and sexual
orientation, and is the most generous woman I have
ever known. I have learned a lot from this wonderful
woman and she touches everyone’s heart as soon as
they meet her.
But on October 24th I have the honor of
taking her to vote for the next president of the United
States. This isn’t her first election. She cast her first vote look forward to being with her on

first political rally in Dallas in 2008 when Hillary was
in town. She admits that she was disappointed when
our girl got beaten by President Obama. But we both
recovered quickly and cast our vote for the Democratic Sally Ortega Haynes
ticket.. .the “party of the people” After all, “people” are

Matilde gets to vote.
Actually no one
calls her Matilda.. .every-
one calls her Grandma
or Grandma Tillie.. .but
Matilda is on her voter
registration card. My
90-year-old grandmother
immigrated to the US (in
California) from Mexico
when she was 23 years
okLrnarrying a Mexi-
can-American citizen.
She became a citizen, here in Texas, under President
Reagan’s amnesty plan. She started out working as a
waitress and eventually became a bi-lingual secretary
working for the YMCA. At 90 years old, she still has
her wits about her.. .she still drives her car, she lives
alone and can cook up the best Mexican food on the
planet! Believe it or not, she is computer literate.. .she
has a Facebook page and writes emails to family all
over the world, and even plays video games with my
kids.
