just me

If you haven’t already, get off your butt and go vote! The sneaky side of me would like to discourage those that aren’t voting for Obama, but I believe in America, I believe in The Constitution, and I believe that we’re all in this together. To steal a line from The American President,

“America isn’t easy. America is advanced citizenship. You gotta want it bad, ’cause it’s gonna put up a fight. It’s gonna say “You want free speech? Let’s see you acknowledge a man whose words make your blood boil, who’s standing center stage and advocating at the top of his lungs that which you would spend a lifetime opposing at the top of yours. You want to claim this land as the land of the free? Then the symbol of your country can’t just be a flag; the symbol also has to be one of its citizens exercising his right to burn that flag in protest. Show me that, defend that, celebrate that in your classrooms. Then, you can stand up and sing about the “land of the free”.

That said, here are two videos that do a good job of illustrating why I voted for Barack Obama today.

Go vote now. Vote for a sensible science policy. Vote for restoring America’s credibility in the world. Vote for opportunity for all American’s. Vote for restoring America’s respect for her own Constitution. Vote for hope over fear. Vote for change.
