Hey, ladies... -just diverted a call from my sis. She has the gall to try and tell me who to vote for... -handed the phone over to my Mom in her mid tirade. Hey, it was good for a laugh. She hasn't grown out of her "college girl" mentality. Kinda cute, actually. I will let you in on my strategy this time as you are like family... Will only vote on the issues that affect California...health issues, police & public services, Indian gaming & the like. Yes, I support my party and put my money where my mouth is; but if I voted for Bush and we have another 9-11, the guilt I feel would be unbearable. Hey, I can live with this... It's really all about the ideologies of the political parties and ultimately the American people. Peace, Love & may the best man win!!! Salaam, to my Middle Eastern friends...

I was amazed at the # who turned out for some of the prayer services and rally's I attended! then again- a law that would take away benefits people already have is stupid in my book... even if I wasn't pro GLBT rights I'd be against proposal 2!

My husband had a line this morning but I think it was the morning rush hour. I went in with my 13 year old after school. (no line then) She is VERY interested. She watched the debates and followed the press coverage in the paper. She wanted to vote. I took her with me to at least see the process in action. I think the polls should be open later then 8 p.m. that might help with the lines. Thats got to be a huge turn off for some people. Take Care!

So much simpler than going to the polls! I've been hearing about long lines all over the place - I guess everyone finally got motivated ... -------------------- ~*Amber*~ Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: pierce brosnan       #118231 - 11/02/04 04:57 PM Edit Reply Quote cailin Reged: 08/12/04 Posts: 3563 Loc: Dublin, Ireland The Brosnan thing made the news here because he is Irish and being viewed as a traitor..or would be if he had done so to vote FOR Bush! There was unbelievable security when Bush came to visit here in June, they were so scared that there would be a a big antiwar March that they kept him within 10 miles of Shannon airport on the west coast and closed all the roads around! I am against celebrities endorsing candidates and I think that there is more to citizenship than voting "against" someone. I would never surrender my Irish passport either...but I guess Hollywood changes people and they believe that them doing something that they consider symbolic will in some way make a difference..but really all it does is get them column inches. OK, someone stop me talking politics! I am on CNN.com looking at the results but its 1am here so i need to go to bed! (i have a problem, i admit it) Sinead -------------------- S.
