November 4, 2008 - Voting in her First Presidential Election Just Around the Corner.On November 4, 2008, Alycia Martin is the day that Alycia Martin appears before the 52-4 District Court Judge on her Motion to Modify Sentence. Alycia is asking the Court to reduce her sentence to time served or convict her on the reduced trespassing charge and end her probation.
November 4, 2008, is also election day.
Thanks to having her Michigan drivers license, and hence voter registration, Alycia is able to vote for the very first time in her life! Several early posts pictured Alycia at the Secretary of State Office in Detroit, Michigan studying the written portion of her license test.
Alycia is thankful for all the assistance the staff at the SOS office at Evergreen and 7 Mile Road, Detroit, Michigan in helping understand the complex matrix of identification papers and verification she needed to get her driver's license and be able to vote. After four trips, she had all the paper work, and realized that nothing is easy, but in the end the wait is worthwhile.
Alycia is very excited about participating in the election of the next President of the United States. Alycia is catching up on all the things most of us take for granted, such as driving legally and voting. Fear of being arrested is no longer a constant on her mind, since she is clear of all cases except the Troy case. Each day brings Alycia closer towards the goal to be the woman she was meant to be, not what others wanted to make her into.
These are hard times economically, but also times of hope for the future for Alycia, and she is thankful for the many blessings in her life.
