HEY ARIZONA VOTERS
Oct. 9th, 2008 11:38 pmI want you guys in the voting booth come November casting your ballots against this drivel!
I know some (most?) of you are anti-McCain and so are thinking of skipping the elections as it seems almost pointless in McCain's home state, but GET YOUR ASSES TO THE POLLS ANYWAY.
We're not as cool as California or Jersey right now on the whole marriage issue, but we can at least say that our residents weren't stupid enough to vote on a marriage amendment the last time it came up, and I'd like to continue to pin that on my hat.
I hope to head over to the Wingspan office myself, see about volunteerin'.
PLEASE GET OUT THERE AND VOTE AGAINST PROP 102.
P.S. Handy anti-102 website. ETA: I signed up to volulnteer through the web site, so we'll see how that goes.
