VOTE!!!

I’m taking a brief detour from the general tone of my life and times and sending out a plea to everyone whose eyes may come across this blog. This Tuesday, Nov. 7th, will be one of the most important days in the next 2-3 years. We have the chance to make some dramatic changes in the structure of our government and balance the power of Republicans vs. Democrats. For the past few years (since Bush took office) we have been under complete Republican control as the Reds controlled both arms of Congress and the President’s Office. Now is our chance, RUN DO NOT WALK to your polling place and VOTE! It may take 10 minutes; it may take an hour, but GO VOTE. I especially urge anyone who lives in a state where a Republican seat is up for grabs to push anyone and everyone they know to go with them to vote. If there is an amendment concerning gay marriage or gay rights on your ballot, GO VOTE!!

If on Tuesday we have not all casts our votes for change, we simply cannot expect our country to change direction for the better. Schools will continue to go down a dark road of mediocrity, the GLBT community will continue to face discrimination and hatred, and our brave soldiers will still be fighting a war that should never have been driven in the way our current leadership has taken it. This is our chance, our chance to fix those things that have been broken, a chance to take back the rubber stamp and make our democracy a checks and balance system the way it was intended.

GO VOTE!!
