VOTE!

This isn't cancer-related, but it's important. I also posted this on my other blog (My Stream of Consciousness).

I know a lot of people tend to only vote in the presidential elections, but tomorrow's election is really, really important so make sure you take the time to go vote. We have a good chance of finally breaking the strangle-hold that the Republicans have held on our government for the past six years.

Our freedoms and rights have been deteriorating over the last few years in the name of the War on Terrorism. Fighting terrorism is one thing, but what does it mean if we give up our freedom to do so? Putting more Democrats in Congress ensures that we have a better balance between the Executive and Legislative branches of government. In this time of war and recession, balance is a good thing.

If you are unsure where to vote, or would like to review the candidates and issues on which you'll be voting, I urge you to visit your state's website. They should have a link to voter information. If you live in Michigan, go here: http://www.michigan.gov/vote.

Please vote tomorrow. Believe it or not, your vote counts.
