Welcome to a special Talking Feds Sisters-in-Law episode.

I'm Bard McQuade.

Last week, Joyce Bants, Jill Weinbanks, and I sat down at our virtual Sisters-in-Law coffee

table to have a conversation with Vanita Dupte and Pam Carlin in honor of the 100th anniversary

of Women's Suffrage to talk about voting rights.

This week, Joyce, Jill and I continue our conversations on the topic with Sheryl and

Eiffel.

She's the President and Director Council of the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund.

We talked with Sheryl and about the duties we share as a legal profession to protect

the rule of law.

The right to vote is so precious in every vote counts.

I remember a time about 10 years ago, my husband and I were out in our front yard assembling

a trampoline.

It was for our kids.

And a candidate for county commissioner came by knocking on doors to talk to voters.

My husband and I actually had planned a vote for his opponent, but he stopped and not only

talked with us, but he helped us with the trampoline.

He probably spent about 20 minutes with us.

And as we were there, we said, we feel bad wasting your time.

And he said, it's not a waste of time at all.

Let me tell you about my views and my position on issues.

So we listened and you bet he convinced us to vote for him.
