Election day reminders.


For everyone who is apathetic to voting today:

Look, it's fine if you think both presidential nominees are evil. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't vote. Vote for state ballots and county representatives! Vote for your local sheriff, the person who oversees sewage treatments in your neighborhood! I don't know, just vote. If you have the ability to vote, but don't, you really have no right to bitch.

So stop bitching and exercise your right and duty as a citizen. As cheesy as that sounds, it's true.

For the record, Collin and I voted today. :)

VOTE!

Here we are, starting a new blog on the eve of election day. Yeah, the focus is on Obama vs. McCain, but local voting is getting ignored, which means a lot of potentially stupid/harmful ballots can sail through without much trouble.

Ballotpedia has a list of the 2008 ballots in a state-by-state chart. Check it out. Don't forget to vote at the local level where policies can directly effect you. Be informed and take responsibility for what goes on in your community; you live there for a reason, don't you?

Happy voting!
