“Running for Senate in the state of Tennessee is a woman named Marsha Blackburn. As much as I have in the past and would like to continue voting for women in office, I cannot support Marsha Blackburn. Her voting record in Congress appalls and terrifies me. She voted against equal pay for women. She voted against the Reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act, which attempts to protect women from domestic violence, stalking, and date rape. She believes businesses have a right to refuse service to gay couples. She also believes they should not have the right to marry. These are not MY Tennessee values. I will be voting for Phil Bredesen for Senate and Jim Cooper for House of Representatives.”

She continues with a plea for her followers to “Please, please educate yourself on the candidates running in your state and vote based on who most closely represents your values,” and a call-to-action for those who can to register to vote. 

“October 9th is the LAST DAY to register to vote in the state of TN,” she wrote. “Go to vote.org and you can find all the info. Happy Voting!”

As Twilight Zone-esque as Taylor’s comment feels, it’s encouraging to hear her finally using her voice — not to mention, her massive platform — to promote her beliefs.
