In short:
I think you should vote for Obama/Biden for the reasons outlined here and here. They will have a positive impact on our country and I firmly believe they are the best people for the job.
If you’re in California:
Would you go up to your best friend and say, “I don’t believe you deserve to have the same rights I do?” Prop 8 is proposing this very thing - marriages that already exist and are recognized by the state of California would be annulled simply because they are same-sex marriages. I find this cruel. If you are in California, please vote “no” on Prop 8.
Everywhere else:
Get out the vote! Make sure you know the issues and exercise your right to have a say in what goes on in this country.
In honor of Halloween, I would like to present you with a video I helped create in college. It is entitled Karate Zombie, and I know I posted it here forever ago, but it is awesome.
Make sure to have your sound on - I did the majority of the audio editing of the sound effects. Right-clicking and saving-as is probably your best bet, as the dimensions of the video itself are pretty small but if you save it, you can resize it to see things better.
Happy Halloween!
I just performed my civic duty and filled out my ballot. Oregon is fully vote-by-mail, so you get mailed a voting pamphlet and your ballot, and you can fill it out in the privacy of your own home. I have decided that this is one of the best ideas Oregon has ever had - you could vote in your underpants if you wanted! I personally enjoy not leaving my home to go stand in line for forever and ever to be at the mercy of a voting machine that may or may not work.
This does mean that I don’t get an “I voted!” sticker, but the convenience totally outweighs the lack of a sticker.
