A Peachy Thing To Do...

It's SUPER TUESDAY! A HUGE day in the life of our Country and our family. If it isn't in yours - make a change!

I got up this morning - Hubby and I had our last minute political discussions over breakfast - and I went to vote. I truly try to never miss a single election. If you do nothing else politically - you must vote. Think of all the people in our history, and throughout the world that have fought and died for the opportunity to vote. In the last presidential election - 64% of voting aged citizens voted. Only 72% of the voting age population is even registered. (these numbers are according to the Census Bureau) The sad part is - those numbers were the highest since 1992, when 68% voted. Even more sad is the fact that only a fraction of those people vote in local/state elections. These elections can often impact your lives much more directly than the national campaign. Anyway, I'm stepping off of my soapbox, and presenting...

PLEASE get out there today (if your state is voting today). Here are the candidates that I consider, the Contenders - alphabetically. (It is my blog - sorry to Huckabee[MUCH too conservative for this girl] and Paul[sometimes a little 'out there' for me]) .

Try this, instead of listening to any outspoken friends or family members (the most influencial to most people), or reading crazy/untrue emails - go read their website information, and decide for yourself. You may be surprised by what you read.

Also, please don't be one of those people that is out there to anti-vote for someone by voting for another. This is one of the biggest elections in the history of our country. We have lots of irons in the fire - and we need to start pulling them out - one by one. Vote FOR someone today.

Let me know if you braved the polls today! We did! (2 votes for....in our household)
