I've been keeping quiet with regard to
political matters because the fighting and bickering have been
offensive. But as Malala of Pakistan said, "If you don't speak up now,
when will you speak up?" So now I'm letting people know that I'm voting
for OBAMA. I believe strongly that this is the right path for this
country.
While I'm at it: for the State Measures, I'm
voting: 30- YES (one should ask why the big wigs in AZ opposing this
proposition refuse to reveal themselves): 31- no; 32-no; 33- no; 34-
yes; 35-no; 36-yes; 37-no; 38-no; 39-yes; 40-yes.
