DID YOU VOTE?!

Go ahead, keep telling yourself that...until the day we all die and nothing has changed. I fear that much will be true.

if you want change, try revolution or evolution. in my opinion, the best solution is to keep on havin' a good time under the ice.

I will keep telling myself that, Its a Plant. It takes time, or revolution for change to happen.

What's your philosophy? You got a better way? If so, please share...I'd love to speed things up!

Much Love,

I voted...went through the painful process of requesting an absentee ballot...sparked a huge bowl of dank...voted for (among others) Kinky Friedman for governor of Texas...mailed in ballot. Waited 2 weeks for actual election to take place only to be blindsided with disappointment: The congressional district that I live in went to a democrat, My choice for Governor lost by an astronomical margin.

And to make matters worse, as of 12:10 central time, I would say that both the Colorado and Nevada MJ initiatives are hopeless.

I don't really see the point of voting anymore. It seems that whenever a good candidate or a great progressive idea comes along, an entire voting bloc of citizens with mental illness steps up and calls themselves...The Democrats...

Like Kinky ever had a chance in the first place. I gotta say that I love the guy, though.

Did Texas vote Dem, or Rep for Gov? Just curious, as you seem to be blaming the dems for Kinky's loss...

I voted and I feel really good about it. It does help that almost everything I voted for passed and the right people were elected. But in Washingon that happens pretty much every election. Pot is the police lowest priority.

Why do you all vote for people who want to put you in jail?

Would someone please explain this to me?

Most everything I wanted in my state came through. Got rid of a conservative, replaced with someone more liberal. Got the stem cell initiative passed (I want to live longer). Got minimum wage raised, which should help out the poorest folks. No extra taxes on smokes (they're already high enough). All-in-all, I'm happy that I voted, and even happier that pretty much everything I voted for passed (or the things I voted against failed).

Am I happy that the three states with marijuana-related initatives didn't pass those? Of course not. But the real problem there lies with the federal government anyway, and liberals are more concerned with personal freedoms and civil liberties than conservatives, especially religious conservatives, so I feel progress has been made. I mean, our new speaker of the house, her district is the most liberal freedom-loving city in the country, and she is both smart and outspoken, so I think she can make a real difference.

For those who sit on their voting rights rather than using them, that's cool with me, as it just makes my own vote have more effect. Heck, if nobody BUT me would vote, that'd be great, since then I could make ALL the laws!

I was surprised of the really big turnout here for a non presidential year... all but one of my candidates are winners today...
