PLEASE VOTE EVERYONE


Tomorrow is the big day. My stomach is reminding me daily that I am concerned about the outcome. I don't recall hearing so much ignorant bombast in my life. I mailed my ballot in as soon as I got it. I'm pretty sure all my family did the same. My thanks to all you bloggers who are more informed than I and have shared with us, I often post your blog links on my facebook and send it to people on my email list. Nice to have people like Ronni Bennett http://www.timegoesby.net/, and Rain http://rainydaythings.blogspot.com/, and many others who write so eloquently and thoughtfully.

I've done a couple of things I haven't done in long, long, time, signed petitions, particularly concerning Social Security which should never be privatized or done away with, and one pitching for Medicare for everyone; I've started contributing money to the Democrats, attending fund raisers, and going to rallys; arguing with our not so honorable opponents at their little tables in front of grocery stores, I didn't intend to, I just couldn't be totally silent anymore. I haven't picketed anyone in probably 15-20 years, the last time on behalf of farmworkers. We have voices and I don't know about you, I haven't been using mine for awhile. Meanwhile I'm off to get somemore Tums.
