I had this further thought today about voting. We as Americans need to look at ourselves as 'investors' in this country.
We invest financially with the payment of taxes and we invest socially with our belief systems and actions. That is why, as an 'investor', we should vote for candidates that support our 'investment stategies' for this country.
Would you hand over your hard earned cash to an investment broker that you did not trust or did not care to tell you what you were investing in? Absolutely not! So why would you waste your voting power by not showing up at the poles on Election Day?
I promise that this will be the last post about voting. I just feel very strongly about this responsibility that we all have for making this country a place for all of us to live and thrive.

I totally concurr, Bette! A thing I like about Arizona, is that a non partisan commission sends out a voter information packet that details--in plain English and very clearly non political terms--each ballot initiative and the viewpoints of candidates. It helps me make informed decisions. I don't like voting by party lines.
