Perhaps I had less conviction than I do now, but it surely didn't feel so dire then. Today I vote like my life depends on it - like my kids lives depend on it. Every election. The outcomes now offer two very different versions of America. I choose to vote for the one where we work together, believe each other and treat our neighbors with dignity and respect. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist Bio: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCappy earned an MFA from SIU-Carbondale in 1999 and a BS in Art from the UW-Madison in 1992.
