This post is a synopsis of this past week in POLITICS.
Every day I received mail from both campaigns telling me why I shouldn't vote for the other party. I think I know more why I shouldn't vote for the candidates than why I should.
I was only on campus 2 days, but I was probably asked 20 times if I was registered to vote here in Ames.
I received 27 emails reminding me to vote and giving me "facts" from political parties at ISU.
These didn't come this past week, but I have also received about 10 absentee ballot request forms. Nope, I'm going to be here on Tuesday...headed to the polls.
I am glad that there is such an effort to get people to vote and make well formed decisions, but I must admit that I am ready for the election to be over. I am tired of all of the negativity. I am tired of having to listen to people in my office make snide remarks about one party. I am tired of the criticism and hypocrisy...well not that this is really going to stop once the elections are over.
Anyway, find some reliable sources, make an informed decision, and VOTE.
