"(Lucy Burns)  And by the end of the night, they were barely alive.   Forty prison guards wielding clubs and their warden's blessing   went on a rampage against the 33 women wrongly convicted of   'obstructing sidewalk traffic.'   They beat Lucy Burns, chained her hands to the cell bars above   her head and left her hanging for the night, bleeding and gasping   for air.     (Dora Lewis)   They hurled Dora Lewis into a dark cell, smashed her   head against an iron bed and knocked her out cold. Her cellmate,   Alice Cosu, thought Lewis was dead and suffered a heart attack.   Additional affidavits describe the guards grabbing, dragging,   beating, choking, slamming, pinching, twisting and kicking the women.    Thus unfolded the 'Night of Terror' on Nov. 15, 1917,   when the warden at the Occoquan Workhouse in Virginia ordered his   guards to teach a lesson to the suffragists imprisoned there because   they dared to picket Woodrow Wilson's White House for the right   to vote.     For weeks, the women's only water came from an open pail. Their   food--all of it colorless slop--was infested with worms."  

And yet many of the women out there don't vote...and some still follow the old tradition of voting what your husband does.  I will say this, I'm glad that lady didn't vote today...she's not all there enough to understand why and what for to wear that sticker.  

On another note....I feel dirty cause I voted for Al Franken
