VOTE

It was good to see the campus getting students involved, especially with the election only a few days away.  Students who live on campus often don't find the time to get information, or at least this was true when I lived on campus during the last election (or perhaps it was just the lack of good candidates).  They end up voting by suggestion of friends or parents, or don't vote at all. Students  could stop by pick up some pamphlets, stickers and get informed.

This is the first election I have really gotten involved in.  I made sure I watched the debates, read interviews and explored the possible outcomes of candidate proposals.  I have strong opinions about the candidates, and am excited to have the opportunity for one of these men to take office.  Neither candidate is perfect; I really am not thrilled about either medical plan, but overall, I think one man has the power to unite people in this country and around the world.  After traveling abroad and hearing opinions from these people, it truly made me realize that Obama had the plan that would help change the perception that America is bully of the world.
