It's election day in the US today.... The day when each one of us gets to participate in the process and choose our leaders, and our laws. In California we're choosing most of the major state government seats, a slew of propositions, and various federal and local level offices.
I don't know anyone who is completely happy with the status quo. So VOTE and make your voice heard. We face serious issues in this country and the world today; vote so your opinons get counted.
I had an excellent civics teacher in high school that taught us the most important thing was to have an opinion. It didn't matter what that opinion was, but to form it ourselves and to have it. Today is the day we tell our opinions to our government.
Go VOTE!
