That's my take on the whole discussion. Too many people have DIED so we can exercise that freedom.


BTW, I phone banked for Obama today and will probably do so tomorrow, too!

That's awful. She was so close to seeing him as potentially the next President of the United States. My prayers go out to his family. I'm sure the election is not exactly the most pressing thing on his mind right now.

I'll be canvassing to get out the vote. Looking forward to it.

I did it yesterday. TonyB, NOW, can I sleep in tomorrow? Thanks!

I've registered folks to vote; I've gone to the local headquarters and worked; most of the peole I know early voted or have their own way of getting to the polls, is that sufficient? I know...I know, but at least I've done SOMETHING!

Funny story, had to share from Paris:

On Sunday I told a guy at my church (yes, I went to church) that it wouldn't be a good election night unless I got to see at least one republican's face when Obama won. Petty, but true.

His reaction at the time was to point out that there are probably a lot of republicans who will have voted the same way I did.

Guess what I found out today? He just so happens to be the CHAIR of one of the Republicans Abroad orgs, and he bought me a ticket to the Voters Abroad election overnight party.

So, to summarize, I have no tact, and he's got a lot of class. Or is super passive aggressive. Feel free to laugh.
