My Part

So although I have been doing things to help on the grassroots level to promote a Yes vote on Proposition 8, the broadcast last night pushed me to use the blog as another help. I know that most that even look here are family and they feel the same way I do but, I want to let all know I support traditional marriage and that I want that being taught to my children. I may not always be the best person to answer all the questions so I will include links that should help. If you disagree this isn't meant to offend but rather to show my opinion and support for what I believe. Thanks for your understanding. If you have questions let me know and I will share how I feel.

Voting - I know that there is a lot of apathy about voting this year because the candidates we have are less than stellar. This may tempt people to avoid voting but I urge all---Vote! The most important things to vote on are propositions, state assemblymen, senators, congressmen etc. If you feel the need to avoid a presidential vote resist and vote for all other things. VOTE!

If you aren't registered to vote register before October 20, 2008 (those in california) If you are outside california check the link to see when your deadline is. All can use the link to register. http://www.justvote.org

Tech Obsession

I try to resist but like "Syler" from Heroes, I have "the Hunger". If you don't watch Heroes, get season 1 on DVD then Season 2 (because we all know watching 1 first then 2 is the way to go... haha) and enjoy this Geeky superhero movie (Michelle's opinion doesn't count on this issue). Anyway, the hunger or feeling of getting new tech toys.

I have lately been really wanting an X-Box 360 and with the Rat Story it made the itch go more. But, in conference it was reiterated for the 9,000th time to be financially smart. So buying an xbox 360 for catching a mouse is not what most of the sane world would consider smart. So, with that and, more importantly, Michelle saying that we should wait till Christmas sales and do a Christmas gift I will resist of spending foolishly...for now (see Syler from Heroes).
