S.O.S.
i have always encouraged people to vote, no matter what their party affiliation may be; however, i have at the same time said that this vote should be informed.
right now, i'm almost desperate, and maybe that is because i live in conservative oklahoma.
things to consider before voting:
1) What moral issues are you most concerned about? now, think about whether this issue is even controlled by the central government or the state.
2) On these moral issues, think, are these beliefs that are religious-based? living in america, the right to religion and freedom to express these beliefs is what is beautiful about our country. but think. according to the constitution and the idea of separation of church and state, are the views of your candidate oppressing any individual's american's rights?
3) Are you hopeful for the future, or are you afraid?
4) You personally are being represented to 6 Billion people around the world. How would you act toward them? What qualities are important to show and who would you want to personally represent you?
and most importantly...
5) Are you and your country and the world better off than you were four years ago?
this election is more important than most others, because its a war-election.
i personally can't understand why anyone would vote for offensive, unnecessary, war. My personal opinion is that I am afraid, i'm afraid of ignorance in this country, i'm afraid that if bush is re-elected, we won't be ok. some people say, "whats the worse that could happen, it can't rally get worse, only better..." no no no. it can get worse, it can get much worse. and i'm afraid to see the result.
please know your shit.vote
