Are You Ready For Tuesday?
Next Tuesday we Americans have the opportunity to participate in a grand tradition. That’s right: Celebrating the birth of evangelist Billy Graham. But not only that, we can celebrate Billy’s nativity by casting our votes in the November 7 election. Here are three simple steps toward successfully voting on Tuesday:
- Learn something about the candidates, measures, and propositions.
- Find out where you’re supposed to vote.
- On Tuesday, go there and vote.
It’s very easy. And it’s very important.
There is a lot of Bush/Republican-bashing going on right now, at least in the online world. My tendency is to agree with a lot of it, but I’m trying not to get sucked into too much hype.
When I first started learning to drive, my uncle took me out in his Jeep for a little test drive. While driving in the neighborhood, I remember being so nervous about hitting the oncoming traffic in the other lane that I would pull away from the center of the road. Instead, I came close to smashing into the cars parked along the street.
It’s easy for me to say, “Man, I want to stay as far away from Republicans as possible.” But sooner or later I’m going to end up running into Democrats, which could be just as bad. I’m already tired of this system, and I haven’t even been paying attention that long. So let’s try to be smart about this.
