VOTE

Besides the John Kerry banner to the left and the occasional Run Against Bush mention on my marathon page, I've mostly kept quiet about my political leanings on this page. (In person is a different story, and if you've ever had the misfortune of experiencing one of my rants, I apologize.)

But we now find ourselves on the eve of an incredibly important election, and I am scared. Why am I scared? Because it is less than 24 hours before the election, and it is a very real possibilty that we could have four more years of George Bush. I don't want, and I don't think our country can handle, another Bush term. The time for change is now.

I want:

- A President who will not go into war under false pretenses.
- A President who will protect a woman's right to choose.
- A President who can make the United States once again respected and admired.
- A President who will not write discrimination into the Constitution.
- A President who can pronounce "nuclear."
- A President who does not turn his back on the world when the world reaches out to him.
- A President who does not create an atmosphere were "Muslim" and "Arab" are four-letter words.
- A President who believes in the value of stem cell research.
- A President who can admit and correct his mistakes.
- A President who does not use his faith to make decisions for a country where millions do not share his faith.
- A President who will protect our air, water, forests, and oceans.
- A President who can provide health insurance for my three friends who have none.
- A President who will not provide tax cuts for the wealthy while ignoring the other 98% of the country.
- A President who did not ride through life on the coattails of his father.
- A President who does not have an evil running mate.
- A President who does not fight a war where more soldiers die after the declaration of "Mission Accomplished."
- A President who will not be voted Best Movie Villain.
- A President who does not think it's funny to comment how a C-student can become President.
- A President who fulfills his military service to his country.
- A President who does not see the world in a "good vs. evil", "black vs. white", "Cowboys vs. Indians" way.
- A President who isn't a complete moron.

Will we get all these things with John Kerry? Maybe not. But it's clear to me, as I hope it is to you, that our country is in serious need of a change, and getting George Bush out of office is a hell of way to start.

You have the right to vote, so it is your duty to vote.

Rock it.

Woo! =) You rock, Sha! And you don't have to apologize about your rantings. Compared to me, everyone seems mellow in expressing their opinions ;) Guess my blog overflows with too much political rants from me. heeehee
