Vote in '08!

The 2008 Presidential election is drawing near and with it, your chance to help determine the direction of our country.

If you're not registered to vote, please do so now. It's easy and registration deadlines are approaching quickly. In Arizona, the deadline is October 6 and you can register register or request your mail-in ballot online.

Both the Obama and McCain campaigns detail their policy proposals on their websites. The policies are easy to read and (last time I checked) do not contain the rhetoric you often hear them described through. I think there's a good chance you will learn something new about the candidates' views on issues you care about and whole-heartedly recommend reading both sides.

If you're wondering whether some statement is 'true', a good place to check is the non-partisan FactCheck.org. I've also found Wikipedia to be a good start point for research. As you can imagine, the Wikipedia biographies and topics central to the election have seen much addition and review.

Vote in '08!
