When you step into the voting booth on Tuesday, you have a unique opportunity to personally help shape our national policy and the direction of this country. Please try to never make the mistake of voting a straight party ticket regardless of who is running under party banners.
The powers that be of both major parties are turning up the pressure for you not to think for yourself and blindly follow their urging and vote straight Democratic or Republican. Don't fall for it!
There are candidates of both parties who do not deserve to be elected. Know whom you vote for, regardless of which party they belong to.
The old adage "Bad leaders are elected by good people who don't vote" is timeless and holds true today.

Does anybody know anything about the non-Presidential candidates where they are? Is that presidential with a small p?

Date: 2004-11-02 09:42 pm (UTC)Graham Leonard supports such organizations as the Sierra Club. That right there gets my attention. :-) He's also a Quaker, which is pretty close to my own "religion"...basically a nature-kid liberal Christian (to put it to someone who wants an outsider's oversimplified view of it).
He's a REALLY nice guy, intelligent, stands firm in his beliefs but is willing and ready to listen to others...yeah this is the kind of person I want in a government office. I would support him if he somehow manages to go further. I hope he wins in his race for Congress.
