August 30 - Every Friday afternoon, Betty Hasan-Amin asks her caretaker to help her tie a brightly patterned scarf around her head, making sure no strands of hair escape. In the next room, her husband finishes his ablution, the ritual washing Muslims conduct before praying.

"It takes me much longer than an average person to get prepared," said Amin, 57, who became a quadriplegic after a spinal cord accident in 1966. She has only limited mobility in her arms and fingers. "This is why I always try and leave extra time for myself."

Neglecting to vote is no longer an option, we have to vote, let this be our new year’s resolution.
