Vote!

I've never done this in all my years on the web, but...

It's a week until election day and I'm urging every single one of you to go out and vote. I don't care who you're supporting (personally, I'm supporting Obama), just go out and vote. Don't tell me you're in a non-battleground state like California and it won't matter...there are Congressional and Senate and local elections and state and local referenda, propositions and initiatives. They're all important.

Oh--if you are in California--there's one position I urge you to take: Vote No on Prop 8, the anti-gay marriage proposition. I'm pretty sure most of you are in favor of gay marriage, but don't skip voting on this one. That's just what the bigots want you to do...they're counting on lots of people who will only go into the booth to hit their choice on the top of the ticket and look no further...because they've energized their base not to do that.
