Barack the Vote!

I hit the polls first thing this morning. I got there right at 7:00 am
and there was already quite a line. I was number 81.

I've never been quite so excited to vote before. The US is at a very
important place. The future can continue to look bleak, or we can
stride confidently into the next decade with a sense of hope. This
country can ill afford another four years of terrible leadership.

Maybe I can be proud to be an American for once in my life.

Here here!! I'm proud to have voted today. Luckly we didn't have much of a line but it was raining... but I got my "I voted" sticker on w/ my Puppet Rios pin and I'm happier than I've been in a few weeks. Today is a good day.

Awesome Kat! Now if we can just get prop 8 to fail we'll be in good shape.

Haha. you're telling me. I've got a bunch of people in my neighborhood w/ the Yes on 8 signs up and I would just love to see their faces WHEN it fails. :)

There is just as much to be proud of in this country as there is to be ashamed of. I hope Obama lives to the hype and the hope.
