...... Election Day 11/04/08.........













It's November 4th, and time to vote!
Whether you're excited about voting for "the lesser of 2 evils" or not, there are many propositions on the ballot that are significant.
There propositions are a threat to our current rights, and an apparent threat to our communities around issues of gay marriage, further criminalization of our youth, and protecting young women's right to choose.
Nancy and I headed out to our polling place early this morning at Pillar of Fire Church in Highland Park where about 20 other neighbors were ready to cast their votes. It was great to see familiar faces, and surprising to see others ( yes, the hipster couples).
Inside, helpful volunteers oversaw 6 voting booths - personally, I think that there should have been more voting booths, but the space was not conducive to it. It was relatively easy and fast to vote because we were prepared.
Here's how I voted:
NO on the 6: Measure r, 1a, 4, 6, 8, 9
Yes on: 2, 5, 12 and B
We have done our part for the day, now we have to work for what we envision for tomorrow!
