Election Day
Election Day is tomorrow and I can't wait. I can't wait to stop seeing and hearing all of those stupid commercials on the radio, television, internet and in print. They are meaningless, mean-spirited and do nothing to educate the consumer about whom to vote for. In fact, it makes me want to vote against them all! The good thing is that it makes me want to go to the polls! The one commercial that caught my eye, advertised a website, put out by AARP, called dontvote.com. At first glance, I really hated the name -- what? telling people not to vote?! But, the premise is that if you aren't informed about the candidates, you shouldn't cast your vote at all. However, if you want to educate yourself, their website is a good place to start. Here is the list of candidates in New York -- click on the names to see the issues they stand for. Another good website to check out is from the League of Women Voters (there is a link from our homepage) -- just put in your street address, and they will give you a list of even your local candidates! It is so easy to find out about the issues and the candidates that there really is no excuse. There are some very important issues this year.
Don't just vote -- vote intelligently.
