I've always been a Republican, I come from a Republican household and my political opinions have always veered more towards the right.

And since I am a Republican, I will be voting for Donald Trump on November 8th.

And yes, I am a woman (shocking, right?!). There is a lot of negative feedback that occurs whenever a woman openly admits that she is voting for Trump, mainly because of his "locker room talk" scandal and recent sexual assault allegations. In no way shape or form to I condone what he said, however, this happened back in 2005, which was 11 years ago and I believe that he is a changed man now. I believe that Trump is the best candidate because he truly is dedicated to improving America. Unlike Hillary Clinton, who seems to be more for herself than the American people.

Now don't get me wrong, I am all for putting a woman in the White House, I just do not believe that Hillary Clinton should be that woman. However, I won't try and argue with anyone who does not agree with me and I certainly would never call them "ignorant" or "undereducated" just because we have different political views. I respect other people's opinions and believe that everyone should be able to express their beliefs without the fear of getting attacked by those who don't agree with them. I wish that this weren't the case for this election but it sadly is. I wish that I could openly express my opinions on this election without the fear of people calling me nasty things, and the fact that this is becoming a general occurrence is truly disturbing because it goes against everything people stand for. I should be able to express my opinion and I should not feel ashamed for voting in favor of the candidate I believe in, which in this case is Donald Trump. I had a lot of reservations about writing this article due to the negativism that I would most likely receive from those who do not agree with my viewpoint, however, this is not about others agreeing with me, it is about making the right decision based on my beliefs.

But I'm done being concerned about what others think and I'm done keeping my opinions to myself, I don't care if people don't agree with me or think I'm wrong for siding with Donald Trump. I am a woman, I am informed, I am voting for Donald Trump, and I am NOT ashamed of that. Remember you can't complain if you don't participate in the process.

No matter your opinion, your voice deserves to be heard, so please get out and vote on November 8th.
