I know....I can't believe it myself. I HATED politics in school. I HATED history. I basically hated anything that had to do with government, period! And here I am volunteering for my favorite candidate's campaign! CRAZY!
I feel important, like I'm doing something great for people. I got all registered in time with the Republican party, so this will be my first time ever being able to vote in the Primary on January 29th here in Florida. I am VERY excited.
My boss is a DIE HARD Republican. He's very outspoken on the issues and who he likes in general so I'd really like to thank him for instilling some of that in me. He made me understand what can happen if the "wrong person" gets in office. He is a retired Orthopaedic Surgeon so all of the medical issues are very important to him. I didn't understand the issues with health care in America until he explained them to me.
I'm not going to sit here and talk about the candidate that im FOR....that's a WHOLE other blog baby! But I will say this....
To all of you young people out there (and even some of you not so young) who don't want to vote....PLEASE reconsider. I was just like you. I didn't understand the issues, and I hated even just talking about politics. I URGE you to please register to vote and even if you don't want to devote as much time finding out about the candidates as I have, I ask you to go to www.ontheissues.org/quiz and click on VoteMatch quiz of 2008 presidential candidates . This will take you to a VERY short quiz that asks you your opinion on all of the important issues and then matches you with the 2008 candidate who answered the closest to you as well as what political party your answers are most like. Even if you vote for the canddate who's most like you in your beliefs, thats better than not voting at all!
VOTE!!!
