Are You Registered to Vote?

This post is going to be a little real life serious.  It's about voting.  I'm not trying to be controversial, I just want to urge everyone in the United States to register to vote, and then to VOTE for (or against) the candidates and issues presented to you.  Low voter turnout, which is way too common in this country, skews our country into something we may not much like.  It's easy to get registered.  The organization Rock the Vote is doing a great job reaching out to new voters. Go to their website HERE to register.  Don't wait.  November will be here before you know it.

One of my Plurk friends asked about voter education tools that are non-partisan.  I thought that was an excellent question.  Factcheck.org is a good and free website to help you sort through the truth, hyperbole and outright lies that fly around during an election season.  The League of Women Voters is a well established non-partisan organization that has been educating voters since 1920, the year that half of the US population (women) won the right to vote.  A well informed electorate is a powerful thing.

OK, I'm hopping off the soapbox now.  Thank you for reading.
