Election Day

  • November 4, 2008 - 4:11am

  • Mood: Patriotic

Tomorrow is Tuesday, the 4th of November. It is the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November. This means that in the US, it is election day. And seeing that it is 2008, it is a Presidential Election year.

So vote. Get up, off of your butt, leave the house, and vote. Vote on your way to work. Vote on your way to school. Vote on your lunch break. Skip out early and vote. Vote on your way home. Vote when you go out for dinner. Whenever you vote...vote.

I won't say that it doesn't matter who you vote for. It does; it should. So you've still got time to read, to find FACTS and learn about the candidates. Not only in the race between the Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates, but also about local elections in your state and district. These are not small matters and should not be treated as such.

If you need more information on any candidates, I recommend visiting Project Vote Smart, for an unbiased, non-partisan, fair look at information about the choices presented to us, both nationally and locally.

Voting is a right, and it is a choice, but one that we should feel delightfully obligated to take advantage of. Every few years, we are granted a sublime opportunity to completely and totally overthrow the leaders of this fine nation of ours, and the only consequences for this are in the choice that we make.

And while yes, there are a million reasons why voting might be inconvenient; maybe you're busy with work or school, maybe you really don't care who becomes president (which, you should!), maybe you have to cook dinner and do laundry and walk the dog. But let me tell you...nothing beats the feeling you get when you've voted...and you realize inside that you did your part to try and change the world.

        Good, I was really afraid after sending you my confess how you'd react. But this was quite easy and fair. Phew! Is this how you react if someone didn't finish the work you asked for? :P

          If they were in a car accident and hospitalized? Yes. Same thing.

          If they were just lazy and didn't feel like doing it? No.

          See how that works?

            Okay, lets see. I spread the word: tell Haly you had car accident and she reacts well. Tell Haly you were lazy and she eats your head. Thats all? :D

              Oh, no, there are other things. However, if I tell them all to you, then you will tell everyone else, and all my secrets will be ruined.

    I voted early (absentee), and I know it's over, but for the future the league of women voters has some good info too.
