Gosh, I hope we can all have a great big E-Hug Wednesday morning and pat ourselves on the back for saving the world from Bush and his gang of evildoers. I voted this morning in Oklahoma, a blood red state, but felt like my vote was the most important one cast.

That’s the most appropriate song I’ve heard all year. Should’ve used THAT for his campaign song!

Ditto on Michael’s thoughts. See you on the other side of the Second.

Vote!
Vote as if your life depends upon it. Because, it may. The threats we American’s now face come from both without and within.
During the last four years, terrorist organizations have multiplied throughout the world and their brazen destructive activities are now recorded daily on our TV screens. I cannot help but wonder, if America had focused on Afghanistan and accomplished the mission of finding and capturing bin Laden and more aggressively challenged the support of Al Quaada from countries such as Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, how many American, European, Asian, and Iraqi citizens would still be alive today?
During the last four years more and more Americans have found it harder to maintain a decent standard of living. Too many of our children, families, elderly and vetrans are just making ends meet. So I cannot help but wonder how many Americans have died these last four years because they no longer had access to healthcare?
During the last four years, our country has seen the rise of the “righteous” (those who judge who judge which of their neighbors are “saved” or “damned”). This fundamentalist group wraps themselves in our flag and hoists the cross, in the hopes of destroying any semblance of a true separation of church and state in America. I seem to recall, Micah in the Old Testment who proposed that all God asks of us is to “Act justly, Love tenderly and walk humbly with our God.” So, I wonder, how many more will suffer and die to be able to “walk humbly with their God”?
My list goes on and on. From the impact of deregulation on our environment, airwaves and industries to the growing power of Eisenhower’s “military-industrial complex.” But, you get the picture.
So, on November 2, Vote. Vote to protect not only your family, but also mine. Vote to protect not only your interests, but also mine. Vote to protect not only your religion, but also mine. Vote Democratic all the way!

Ditto on Michael’s comment. Your site has served me a port in the storm. Always rational and enjoyably funny. Thank you.

I just wanted to talk a moment, before the election, to thank you for your writing over the past few months. It has ranged from soulful to informative and through it all it’s allowed me to contemplate the reasons I’m a proud liberal. Now when people display to me the apathy they have for Kerry I defend him proudly, your excitement for this canidate has rubbed off on many.
