I'm not as politically savey as I'd like to be. I pay very close attention to current events (reading the NYTimes every day and watching the news).

Braun backing Dean does sway my position (I must admit).

I liked the way Kerry communicated his message on the news last night and this morning. He talked about fighting unemployment, tax cut's for the wealthy, health care for most (reducing premiums) ... It all sounds good.

Because Dean has Braun's endorsement, I plan on investigating his platform a little more closely.

Like many of you said previously, neither the D's or the R's really have Afr-Amer interests at heart. The thing is, if your not a registered D or R, you can't vote during certain elections. That is how I understand the law. You have to be one or the other for your vote to count. We are stuck with chosing the lesser of two evils.

However, let's not even get "all caught up" on thinking that our votes count as much as we'd like to think they do. Votes weren't counted in DC (and in FL) and nobody seems to care. Is Bush REALLY suppose to be our President? We shouldn't forget these injustices as we gain political strength.
