Election '08

"Not talking about it because it is "uncomfortable" doesnt mean you have to ignore it altogether... educate yourself. " Random Scholar(bursting my own buble ;))

Ok so its been a while since I've dived into the political realm here on the Blog... We are in a leap year, and most of us know what that means. This november we go to the polls... but hopefully we go more prepared than with what the media is force feeding us. If you havent done any research into who is potentially going to running our country than you can count yourself blissfully ignorant. however blissful you may be, you ARE ignorant. If at the very least take a look at all the issues important to you and find out where our candidates line up with those issues, and learn about those issues. Here is a list of sugested web links to get some ideas:

and please people... if you dont find the info you want to know on any of these sites dont stop there... search for it. Dont show up at the polling computer and christmas tree your ballot!! A lot of people wonder why nothing ever gets done to make this country a better place.. this is what you can do.

Can you believe it!? Nader is still alive!
