Well... This is it.

The 2004 General Election for the Presidency of these United States of America.

I hate to say it, but former first lady babara bush said it best when she told Ohio she planned to "have a nervous breakdown." I'm right there with ya Babs. If you've read any of these rants you obviously know where i stand on things concerning the current resident of Our White House. Now all that's left to do (for now) is VOTE and ask other people if they have VOTEd.

I was reading the Declaration of Independence at the ridiculously named, but kinda cool "Democracy Plaza". "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal." Election Day is about as close to equal as we get at this point in Our Country's relatively young life. Every VOTE Counts! Whether it is a VOTE for Senator John F. Kerry or a VOTE for mickey mouse. We VOTE to let them know we're listening, or at least we're engaged enough to go touch the screen. The only way to get politics to work for "We, the People" is to let the politicians know that "We, the People" are there, and We can do that by casting our VOTE on November 2nd. It wouldn't hurt to ask people if they voted. Maybe throw in a little "yeah, i'll walk over there with you" just to make sure they do.

Cross your fingers, light a candle, say a novena, give a toast, whatever you gotta do.

This is a big one.

peace.
