It is already that time to vote.  On T.V. , newspapers, even mail and on radios you see advertisments for who will be on the ballot plus new messures.  Time to start researching and getting an understand of each messure and prepare your thoughts to vote.  I really don't spend much time.  I am a voter though,  even if the choices I had choosen did/didn't win at least I knew that I had at least tempted/made a difference instead of regreting and wondering "what if my one vote could have changed the outcome".  I am an absentee voter, which is great and convient for those with busy lifes ( no way, there are people out there who are busy? :) ), I recieve it in the mail and i vote at home.  When completed I mail it out so they recieve it before eight pm election day or I can on the day of the election drop it off at a polling place.  I have actually worked for elections before , its quite an experience !!!  Oh by the way I am democrate with a longing to make a difference.
