VOTE!

VOTE for everything that is worth loving.

VOTE for peace. VOTE for the environment. VOTE for the disenfranchised. VOTE for human rights and justice.

Sometimes VOTING seems like the only power we have.

It may not be the only power, but not VOTING makes you powerless. You cannot complain if you do not VOTE.

Wisdom from Shirley Chisholm:

"The one thing you’ve got going: your one vote."

Wisdom from Frank Zappa:
"pretty soon there won't be no street
for dummies to jog on
or doggies to dog on
religious fanatics can make it be all gone
I mean it won't blow up and disappear
it will just look ugly for a thousand years"

Ann Marie Buerkle: Potential Anti-War Crusader?

Ann Marie Buerkle is poised to become a strong anti-war leader. Consider the intersecting circumstances: 

• She has great and justified concern about balancing the US budget.  She is concerned that we borrow forty per-cent (40%) of what we spend. Then consider that thirty per-cent (30%) of the budget goes for current military. Another eighteen per-cent (18%) goes to past military.

• With the removal of Osama bin Laden, the US no longer has a reason to be fighting in Afghanistan. Also, the unsteady withdrawal from Iraq needs more push from Congress.

• Buerkle's position on the House Foreign Relations committee puts her in a good position to voice her opposition to war. 

• She has a brilliant background as a crusader. She has an unparalleled single-mindedness for advocating for what she thinks is right.

Blue Sky Girl can think of no one with more potential to become the newest champion of peace.

Go Ann Marie!
