Rock the Vote

I am not a political person, meaning I don't follow the candidates and watch EVERYTHING that I can on them and all the issues. I really just stick to my party affiliation because I know what they stand for and the issues that ARE important to me. I am not really excited about this years choices, I was excited about this guy, but as you all know he did not make it. 2012 anyone????


I really get uncomfortable when politics comes up. It is such a sticky and personal subject that most of the time everyone has their own thoughts and opinions. Fights ensue. I HATE confrontations like no other, and that is how I look at it. I did grow up where my Dad was into politics and let it be known that we all need to do our part and get out there and vote ASAP. Once I turned 18 I was excited to vote and I really do think that everyone should. I firmly believe that if you don't do anything, getting out there and voting, then you have no right to complain about our leaders or issues that are passed. You didn't try to do anything about it.

That said, please get out there and vote today. There is one particular Proposition for those that live in California. Proposition 8. Vote YES and save Traditional Marriage. I hate to bring this up on my blog because it is a sticky subject but I feel really strongly about it and this blog is my journal. If I didn't talk about it here, then I would be leaving out a HUGE part of what is going on in our lives right now. It has been really crazy here in California with this Prop. Picketers on every corner, phone calls, door to door, signs everywhere, many lengthy discussions. It is a little funny to me that most of the picketers that I have seen with "no" signs are kids that are not able to vote.



Get out there and vote today! ROCK THE VOTE. I am always proud to get my "I voted" sticker and display it to all, just don't ask me what my political views are it will scare me away :)
