Mike, Mike, Mike
Your blog posting has caused many thoughts to start swirling around my brain.
I implore you to exercise your right to vote.
Why? Well:
- You had the chance to run for Governor, but you said no.
- So you have concerns about Gray, Arnold & Cruz? There are 133 other candidates to choose from. Voting for any of them is better than not voting a blank ballot.
- If the 133 other candidates don't float your boat, there are always the 28 certified write-in candidates (Don't waste your vote by writng in a non-certifed write-in candidate.)
- If you turn in a blank ballot, you are making us fodder for jokes that Californians are just as bad as those Florida Hanging Chadders™. Use the stylus, poke out the chad and Vote! (if you want to protest - live dangerously and don't check for any hanging chads on your punchcards!)
- A non-vote on the yes/no recall vote is really a vote for the losing side
- Join Voters For None Of The Above to lobby for the right to vote for "none of the above" in California. But in the meantime, on Tuesday go out and vote!
- Turning in a blank ballot, but wearing the nifty "I Voted" sticker will cause you to lose sleep
- Punching out chads is a great stress reliever
While I have a horse in this election, I still encourage you to vote. Even though your vote could cancel out my vote, I still encourage you to take advantage of your right to vote.
See you at the polls on Tuesday.
