Voting

I'm sorry I haven't posted anything in a while. I'm generally posting to my politics blog so this one gets shorted.

One of the easiest ways to get involved is to vote. I know it sounds trite but voting is a simple, easy way of involving yourself in the political process.

If you are not registered to vote, please do so today. It is truly a gift to be able to pick who will represent us. And no, in a presidential election our individual vote does not actually choose the president. Our electoral college means that a candidate won't concentrate on major population centers; instead he or she travels the country meeting everyday people because that candidate knows that each vote can matter.

Most motor vehicle locations in many states can handle your registration for you and the registrar's office is most often located in the same building as other county or city offices.

Please vote, don't take the right for granted.

Blogging-- What a Way to Spend Your Life

Okay, I admit that blogging wasn't high on my list of priorities a few years ago. I thought that it could consume too much of my time.

Well, yeah.

But on the bright side. Blogging gives us all an opportunity to vent our frustrations or express our concerns about issues. In some cases, bloggers have gone on to become famous for their blogs--especially political blogs. So spend a few moments and check out some of the more well-known political blogs. Maybe you can be a regular contributor or someone who comments on a frequent basis. After a time, you may want to turn to blogging too. Who knows-- you could become very influential.
