VOTE

This is such an important election. I personally have never cared about politics until the last 8 years and this election, especially, has me reading the news constantly.

It's our right to vote. I hope all of you out there are registered! There's no reason why you shouldn't be:

I find this such an important issue that I've even been volunteering for this election, bringing the kids along and all.

I've had this song in my head for days now. It's Power to the People by John Lennon. I've got the cover version of it by the Black Eyed Peas on the Instant Karma Save Darfur album. Here's the original--a great video from You Tube:

I get chills when I hear it. Makes me sad that this video was made 37 years ago and people were fighting for the same things we are now. Change has to be coming, doesn't it?

This campaign is giving me hope that the world will really be different and that the visions of people like Martin Luther King and John Lennon will come true.
