Confession
Okay, so I am just going to come right out and say it... I am going to vote for Barack Obama for President. Yep, that's right, I'm going to vote for a Democrat for the first time in my life. I'm not saying I'm a full blown Democrat, but I've decided that I'm not a full blown Republican either. I guess I'm just an idealist and I vote for whoever I think is the best person with the best chances for bringing about the much needed change in our worldwide relations, economy, EDUCATION, etc.. I believe that Barack is the best option. In fact, yesterday I did something for the first time in my life....I went downtown with my friend and we volunteered for the Obama campaign here in Asheville. I sat and called people for 2 hours reminding them to vote for Senator Obama in the North Carolina Primary next week. It was quite an interesting experience and I actually had a lot of fun doing it. I have never really been into politics very much but with the bad shape that our country is in right now, I realized that I need to get myself educated on the issues and make a stand. So that is what I'm doing...making a stand for the future of my children.

wow! thats quite a confession i must say. i must say that i am quite disappointed in our candidates and i dont think any of them will do a good job. i think that these next four years will be terrible either way and our best bet is to wait for 2012 elections. pretty sad and pretty disappointing.
That's awesome. I have never really been into politics either... but I am definitely getting into it this election year. Good for you for making a stand!
I think it's so hard right now, trying to decide on who will lead our country the best. Way to go! That's awesome! I am still unsure of who I will vote for. I have always been republican, but like you, I'm not crazy about our choice. I love hearing your opinion more, and I'm realizing how much study I actually need to put in this before I vote. Thanks!
Really?
Yeah...me too. So, I still consider myself a Republican (albeit a liberal Republican)...but I'm supporting Obama too. In fact, our state has a closed primary--you can only vote in the primary of your own party. So...um...Alex and I re-registered as Democrats! I plan to change that once the primaries are over--but I wanted to vote in the important race. And to do that, I had to be a Democrat.
Weird.
Interesting. Good for you. I'm glad your taking a stand although, I'm not sure how I feel about Obama. Although, I haven't studied them out as much as I should. I'll have to look into it. Good for you for doing what you feel is best.
Eric's younger brother is HUGE into politics, so ever since we have been married I have been more aware of politics and actually trying to use my right to vote. Good for you for being active in the whole process!
