Single What? Female...

I have been such a slacker....

I've been so focused on so many other things that I have not posted nearly enough about this election and here it is, November 7th.

First I have to put up this:


alt="Call For Change" width="150" height="200">

There is still time to call people and make sure that they are getting out there and voting. We all know that the change has to happen and today is the day to make sure it does.

And no matter who you vote for, it is just imperitive that you are part of the process.

AND THAT YOU REPORT VOTER FRAUD IF YOU SEE IT!!!!

Already, according to Stephanie Miller's show, it has been reported that electronic machines in Ohio have not been working and people have had to resort (oh no!) PAPER BALLOTS. A woman is Arizona called in and said that she found out that her polling place was 25 miles away from where it should have been. There are GOP volunteers who have called folks in the wee hours saying that they are from Democratic campaigns...it is just out of control, still, but once again, it is a sign of how desperate the Republicans are to hold on to power in Congress...and how they know that they could lose it today with just a few votes.

Make your voice heard. Make your vote count. Get out there today and vote.

You know, as I walked up to my polling area today, I did get a nice little sign of hope. I was listening to Ben Harper on my iPod, and as I crossed the street to get to the building where I now vote, his song "Black Rain" started playing. Now, the title is a little disparaging initially, but then you hear the song:

"Black Rain"

You left them swimming for their lives
Down in new orleans
Can't afford a gallon of gasoline
With your useless degrees and contrary statistics
This government business is straight up sadistic

Now you don't fight for us
But expect us to die for you
You have no sympathy for us
But still i cry for you
Now you may kill the revolutionary
But the revolution you can never bury

Don't speak to us like we work for you
Selling false hope like some new dope we're addicted to
I'm not a desperate man but these are desperate times at hand
This generation is beyond your command

And it won't be long
'til the people flood the streets
To take you down
One and all
A black rain is gonna fall


More like a blue rain, but of course for the GOP, it will indeed be a black day.

VOTE.

and KEEP EMAILING!!! EMAIL, CALL, FAX, WRITE YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY, THE PRESS AND YOUR CONGRESSFOLK AND LET THEM KNOW THAT YOU ARE PAYING ATTENTION, THAT YOU ARE VOTING, THAT YOU WILL NOT BE INTIMIDATED AT THE POLLS AND THAT YOU WANT A CHANGE...NOW!

Peace --Alex
