It does not matter whether your state is a red fish or a blue fish, your vote can keep the fearmongers out of congress. The fearmongers are counting on your staying home, hiding under the covers, and refusing to vote. It is the only way they can win.
Prove them wrong and VOTE.
If you need a reason, here is good reason to vote.
It took 1% of the gross domestic product (GDP, sort of like the income of the US) to rescue the rich when the economy collapsed. Yes, we did have to rescue the rich, depressions are no fun at all.
For another 2% ($200 for every $10,000) of GDP, we can rescue the rest of us and end this recession early. Economists all agree with me. We can even use some of this money to fix aging infrastructure so that bridges and levies do not collapse, killing people. We could use some of the stimulus monies to manufacture chips in the US so we do not have to worry about viruses taking over our critical military, transportation, and communication systems.
Why hasn't this been done already? Because the Republicans voted against it. THEY WANT YOU POOR AND DEPRESSED, so that you will not vote against them.
If you need another reason, many of you have a chance to vote to begin the end of the prohibition on drugs. Vote to legalize marijuana in any way that you can.
BUT VOTE. We can all make the world a better place. Start this process by voting.
(As you know, this year I am asking everybody to vote for the Democrats. I am tired of this recession and the Democrats are willing to listen to the economists and do their best to end the recession.)
