10 Reasons to VOTE (for Obama!) On Tuesday

10. Starbucks will give you a free tall coffee for voting!

 9. Nearly 35,000 men and women have died or have been wounded in Iraq defending our freedoms. No more families should lose their sons and daughters, husbands, wives, fathers and mothers to this war.  Obama will end it, McCain will not.  Palin even revealed that McCain would like to attack Iran during his first 100 days in office.  Can we really afford another warmonger?

 8. Biotech companies are closer than ever to curing forms of blindness and healing totally severed spinal cords, even in the face of massive political pressure, but these companies need funding and public support.  Even cellular aging could be a thing of the past with the right technologies and research, enabling healthy lifespans of 150+ years.  These biotech companies are making discoveries, but there is a lack of resources out there to develop the technologies.  Only one candidate will truly give this field what it needs to succeed.

7.  If you work for the man, by law, your employer must give you time off of work.  With long lines, that could mean hours off of work just to vote.

6. Our planet is becoming an inhospitable place to live, and our children will pay the price of living in a very different world: one devoid of many of the species that exist today, and one whose climate is unfriendly, with existing large population centers under water.  We must stand up to big business and do what is right, while creating jobs and keeping energy costs low.  We must learn to use the energy that is abundant: solar, wind, geothermal.  We are resourceful and we can do it.  Obama plans to create 25% of our electricity from clean energy by 2025.

5. If you earn less than $250,000, your taxes will decrease.

4. The world supports Obama.  A BBC poll from September found that Obama was preferred 4 to 1 over McCain on average across the 22 foreign countries surveyed.  We need a president who will reach out and communicate with our neighbors, not shun them.

3. We simply cannot afford a president Palin. She is grossly ill-equipped to lead our nation.  If I was on the fence, adding Palin to the ticket would ensure that I’d never vote for the candidate who chose her.  57% of registered voters polled by CNN this week agreed that Palin “does not have the personal qualities a president should have.”  Yet, at age 70, there is a real chance that McCain will not survive 4 to 8 years in office.

2. McCain voted with Bush 95% of the time.  95%!  McCain is not Bush, but as far as his positions are concerned, he’s within 5% of being a Bush clone.  This, according to FactCheck.org.  You will not get change from a candidate who voted the same as the incumbant 95% of the time.

1. I grew up in Texas.  I was a conservative until I moved to California.  I was raised one way, and thought that’s how I was supposed to be, until I heard other views and began to see that not only did I not want to support conservatives, I wanted to be 100% democrat  across the board - people change, and it’s important to expose yourself to alternative views because you might just like them.

If you’re a republican undecided voter, consider this: you’re undecided for a reason, the guy you might normally vote for is giving you serious pause.  Go with your gut.  You don’t have to love and marry the candidate.  You don’t have to tell anyone who you voted for, and you don’t have to vote republican now simply because you always have before.  Choose the candidate you think will move our country forward and begin to correct the missteps of the past 8 years with the environment, energy, free passes and handouts to big business, the mortgage mess, the economy and national debt, healthcare, the war.
