VOTE TODAY!
The one time I didn't vote in a local election, my candidate lost by ONE vote. That vote was mine. Your vote counts.
I am off to the polls to celebrate the one right that hasn't been threatened by the wingnuts as of this date, the right to vote.
UPDATE:
And now tears of joy!!!!! Obama has prevailed. I am writing this after listening to John McCain's concession speech and that gave me a few tears as well. I was a proud Republican for most of my voting years. I guess now you would call me a Goldwater Republican...when the Grand Old Party meant fiscal responsibility, small government, and individual rights. Somehow the Religious Wingnuts took over the party and it became something else....something that I found abhorrent. John McCain survived the Vietcong prison camps and he earned my admiration and respect. He has given his life in service of our country and I admire him for that. I admire him for the speech he gave tonight.
Now I am going to listen to the next President of our country give a speech of hope and promise. I am very excited and happy to have been able to vote for him today.

I've just witnessed history....We have won. God bless us.
Now we can hopefully address some of the states discrimination votes at the federal level. Change is coming!
