i hope people realize how important this coming election is. and i hope people realize that too much is at stake to NOT do their own research and find out where each candidate stands on each of the issues. not just one or two or three issues. on EVERY issue. i'm gonna make it clear here that i am against abortion (except for cases of rape, incest and when the mother's health in endangered) and i am against same-sex marriages. but let's face it. in this post-modern era, there are so many other issues than those two. environmental decline, poverty, mid-East conflict, conflict with Russia, natural disasters, the economy, healthcare, education, immigration, and the list goes on and on and on. i am not going to vote for a pro-life and a pro-traditional marriage ticket IF it also means that i'm voting for further environmental decline, more crises with other countries, more money in the pockets of the rich and less for the middle class, less stellar education for the kids of America, and more budget deficits. the truth is, the states are allowed to decide whether or not they will allow same-sex marriages. a proposition to ban same-sex marriage (known as the California Marriage Protection Act) is going to be on the ballot in November here in CA. and it may pass. and i'm all for overturning Roe v. Wade and all but that was decided in 1973! and we've had at least four pro-life presidents since then... and it hasn't been overturned. what makes US think it's going to be overturned now??? and exactly how??
i am not less of a Christian if i vote for Obama-Biden.
and i am not going to try to change anyone's mind or try to force my opinion on people. i just want people to be informed and make a decision based on that. don't just vote for a particular party just because past family generations voted for it. or don't just vote for someone because it's a trend. it makes me sick when i hear about people so effin ignorant, they believe everything -- from ridiculous rumors to ad attacks that stretch the truth or worse, ignore it.
the information is out there. we just have to look for it.

Good Stuff Lyn
Well said Lyn; inspiring, motivating, and compelling. There is a lot at stake, being so, ignorance (i.e. in relation to the issues) is not bliss.
