Election Thoughts

Kent and I submitted our early voting ballots. I always take the time to read up on all of the propositions and candidates before I vote because I want to make an informed decision. Kent trusts me enough to go along with my votes. (I tell him that he can do his own research to come up with something different if he is so inclined, but so far he has voted with me. I guess it's times like this that my Poli Sci studies from ASU come in handy...) I even voted across party lines in a few places this time. I felt a little guilty about that! But I really felt that some of the people from the other party would be better in those positions.
Listening to all of the ads on TV and radio I thought that many of the propositions sounded great. But before I voted I had to do my homework because I didn't want to vote for something that I was misled about by the ads. It's times like this that I really love the Internet. I was able to find several websites that explained what the propositions would really do. Some of them had really good points on both sides, but then they also had some really terrible consequences that they DON'T put in the ads on TV and radio. I was shocked that they got enough valid signatures to get these propositions onto the ballot!
This election is so important! Please don't waste your vote! Do your homework so you can make an informed decision. If you're still unsure how to vote then PRAY!
