Your Vote Counts!

Surely I don’t need to tell you how incredibly important tomorrow’s election will be, right? I mean, unless you have been living in a hole for the last year, you will not have been able to miss the daily barrage of television ads, radio announcements, bulletin boards, community signs, facebook status updates, tweets, and you tube videos reminding you to get out and vote.

I have two wishes regarding tomorrow’s election.  I want it to be over and I want it to be decisive.  I will absolutely pull my hair out if I have to hear about hanging chads and butterfly ballots for the next few months (or years).  Of course, I would hope that everyone will vote for my choice, Barack Obama, and that he will not only win, but that he will win by a landslide.  But more than that, I just hope that everyone gets out there to vote this year.  This is not the year to sit on the sidelines.  This is the year to get involved.  So forget the laundry and the cleaning, forget about getting to work early or going to the gym, hell, you can even buy your kids fast food take out and forget the cooking…just please don’t forget to vote!

• Need some help?  Call your candidate’s local headquarters and tell them you want to vote for their candidate but you need a ride/babysitter/snack.  This year, they will more than likely be happy to accommodate.
• Still not sure who to vote for?  Check out this previous post on How To Green Your Vote (hint: Hillary and Mitt are no longer in the running)
• Don’t know where to go? Find your polling place here and while you’re there be sure to check out the other measures that are on this year’s ballot.
• Don’t forget your free coffee.  Starbucks is giving away a free cup of coffee to anyone who votes tomorrow.  Just remember to bring your reusable mug!

See you at the polls!
